Do you agree with people saying that "said" should not be used in writing? I don't! I mean, yes, it's a bit boring and can get repetitive, but you don't have to use said every time. And, personally, I never use said without having a ction or and adverb after it. For example:
"Go away," she said through gritted teeth.
"I'm bored," he said monotonuosly.( sp?)
I don't find it that bad! I know not to use it continously, but every author uses that word. I see it all the time, in the books they have us read at school as well! Now we;ve just been told that if we use this word in our writing, we will get points taken off. What do you think? I'm planning on becoming an author, and I want to know if anyone doesn't like seeing that word (see, I'm not using it!) in books or other forms of literature.
