How things change. When I began learning to improve my writing, the ‘experts’ told me not to use the words you have listed to describe emotions, tastes, sounds etc as they were considered to be padding!
So, instead of improving my writing, such directives halted my progress. I know better now but regret the time I must have wasted then. My advice to young authors today, is read your favourite authors, then ask yourself why you like them so much?
