To Be or not To Be..."Not!" That ends the question.
The to-be verbs: was, am, are, is and the like suck the life out of your writing. Search and destroy.
For example:
There was a man from Atlanta named George. He was tall and fat. His whole neighborhood was afraid of him because he would sit on his stoop and sharpen his knife collection.
Compare this to:
Tall and fat, George frightened the whole neighborhood just by sitting on his stoop, sitting and sharpening his knife collection.
Not To Be. That is the answer.
