“Stick to it; don't let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in. When you catch an adjective, kill it.” ~ Mark Twain, SLC to David Watt Bowser
“I believe the road to hell is paved with adverbs, and I will shout it from the rooftops.” ~ Stephen King, On Writing
A last-minute nanogenmo submission inspired by some last-minute nanowrimo writers. Goes through a text and collects all the adjectives and adverbs and then randomly disperses them to all of the nouns and verbs, inflating a text so you can reach your word count! Code can be found here. A sample of the output using The Divine Comedy as a corpus can be found here.
