Explanation

In looking at my verb breakdown, I noticed that most of my verbs are general action verbs. While this may have a negative connotation in theory, my adverb and adjective usage makes up for the lack of explanation and specificity in the verbs themselves. To add additional specific active verbs would not necessarily improve the quality or specificity of my project.
