Miscellaneous Musing

Using the word "pad" as a verb is the literary equivalent of garlic mashed potatoes. One person discovered it and and suddenly, characters are padding everywhere. "He padded into the kitchen..." "She padded softly into the moonlit bedroom..." I'm seriously thinking of keeping a running tally...

I'm sick of padding. Please. Come up with something original.

Chosen because it's such a global human feeling but said so succinctly. I love such big ideas said with so little fat.
