Hello,
I am worried that I am using 'the' to much in my story, is this possible? I just don't know what other word I can use when I am describing something. Such as, "the rain was falling heavy" " the engine roared" " the clock ticked" etc...
Is it bad to use 'the' a lot?
Thanks..
How about instead of ... "the rain was falling heavy" " Heavy rain fell"
Don't worry to much we all do it... Most common words we over do are
very, never, feel, seem, think, almost, have, she, he, said, and...
do try and stop them as you write.
Good luck and hope it helped.

Good luck, hope it helped
