Reading Response Chapter 5 STC

The qualifers that Le Guin refers to in Chapter 5 are the most overused words in all my writings.  Suddenly, just, and very are words that I write without conscious.  I  agree with her that they should be avoided at all costs, but also find it funny how I revert back to them naturally.  Although this was a very short chapter,  this has been the one I feel most connected.  I also feel it will end up being one of the most useful critical pieces I have read all year.  If I am able to release myself from these "meaningless and overused literary adverbs and adjectives," my work will improve more than I thought possible.
