Ninjadillo Is Here! Adverbs Beware!

Shannon and I are totally behind the idea of Nanorevismo which we took completely from The Intern who is awesome and whose Nanorevismo posts you must read! So all credit for this idea goes to The Intern, but Shannon found the Armadillo and I gave him his name. Let the Shenanigans Begin!


(Please read this entire post with the voice of an excited announcer for a toy car commercial in your head. Preferably from the 80's. K? Thank you)

Ninjadillo is the official mascot of Nanorevismo! He is the mascot with really thick skin. Writers need thick skins to get critiques! Wrters need thick skin to share their work. And writers need Ninjadillo's ninja skills to kill their darlings.


All of this month is serious work! Writers are revising! Writers need NINJADILLO!

This isn't November! This. Is. Sparta! Nanorevismo!

Ninjadillo is fierce! Ninjadillo is tough! And Ninjadillo is here for your adverbs!



HEEEEYAH!

Adverbs can run-on. Adverbs can hide behind comma splices. And adverbs can bribe their way into dialogue tags. But he WILL find you! And all you adverbs will be DELETED! Backspace, backspace BACKSPACE!


AAAAAAAH Ninjadillo! Heeyah!

Writer writes...
"He held me tightly. He looked at me passionately. He touched me softly."

Ninjadillo says NO ADVERBS! POW! POW! POW!



Now writer says...
"He gripped my hands. He stared into my eyes. He caressed my skin."

Ninjadillo says YEEEEEE!!!


Watch Ninjadillo jump!












Watch Ninjadillo leap!












Watch Ninjadillo make the same pose he has made this whole post.














Ninjadillo says he learned how to pose from Zoolander.



But do not laugh at Ninjadillo! And do not hide! And if you are an adverb or an uneccesary plot line or a continuity error, or a stupid cliche, be afraid, be very afraid. Because Ninjadillo is HERE!


POW!!!

  11. No adverbs are safe?! Ninjadillo will gorge on a diet of -lys and verys.
