Over at Self-Publishing School, Bella Rose Pope presents these two sentences:
1. I gripped the steering wheel firmly.
2. I clenched the steering wheel.
Pope says #2 is better, because a strong verb (“clench”) is better than a verb plus an adverb (“gripped firmly”).
I’m not sure I agree. What do you think?
Are Verbs Always Better Than Adverbs?
