Snark Bites: Filtering words

Learned a valuable lesson this weekend at Convolution during a writer's workshop and a writer's panel presented by Jennifer Carson over at Leaspell WordWright Guild.

This is a combination of those two lesssons. My notes are a mishmash so I'm not going to separate by source.  Filter words are those that lead to telling rather than showing. They do so by:

• Dictating emotions.
• Recapping for readers
• Telling the reader what to think.

The following are examples of filter words:

• Understood
• Thought
• Knew
• Felt
• Saw
• Heard
• Smelled
• Told
• Started to
• Began to
• Perceived
• Recognized
• Began to 
• Seemed

What do you think? Am I missing any?
