📝 Why Transition Words Matter (A Love Letter to “However” and Friends)

Ever read something and felt like you were on a mental rollercoaster with no seatbelt? Yeah, same. That’s what writing without transition words feels like.

Transition words are the unsung heroes of writing. They’re the glue that holds your thoughts together, the little signposts that whisper, “Hey, this next idea is connected to the last one.”

✨ Examples:

“I love rainy days. However, I forgot my umbrella.” → Conflict!

“She practiced every day. As a result, she aced the audition.” → Cause and effect!

“He didn’t text back. Meanwhile, I spiraled.” → Simultaneous chaos!

Without these gems, your writing feels choppy. Your reader has to do all the heavy lifting to connect your ideas. And let’s be real—lazy brains will just check out. 🧠💤

So yes, throw in that “furthermore,” flex a “nevertheless,” spice it up with a “consequently.” It’s not extra—it’s essential.

I pressure washed the front of my house tonight and a chunk of my driveway. What better way to commemorate my hard work (and very sore body) than to quote #Shakespeare in the still-dirty part of my driveway?? #Englishnerd [Side note: pressure washing is very satisfying. No I will not come wash anything of yours.] https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzb94oSHvhy/?igshid=v7se3lfy38jm

If you know some nice/cool classic English novels, let me know! I wanna get lost in a book.

for a reason unknown to me, i have been obsessed with buying classics lately. they are the forst thing my feet lead me to in a bookstore and my eyes seem to always find them first. and i’m annoyed at myself for buying so many of them and not actually reading any!! i love the idea of classics but the act of actually reading them scares me, i guess. i feel very intimidated by the writing style mostly because i am not a native english speaker. BUT. i started Murden on the Orient Express yesterday and i am loving it so much, and even though it was written in he 30s it is very easy to read (except for the french). what is your opinion on classics? do you love them? hate them? do you prefer modern classics or the more classical classics? ket me know 😌 #books #bookstagram #classicliterature #englishnerd #janeausten #charlesdickens #charlottebronte

Here's one of my favourite lines by Emily Dickinson: "I'm Nobody! Who are you? / Are you – Nobody – too?" . . Once, ages ago, I read an Emily Dickinson poem each day for a year. I'd totally recommend it. . . . #lifelessons #wisdom #englishnerd #englishmajor #poetry #poetrylove #poems #emilydickinson #poets #nobody #drawingaday #draweveryday #drawingoftheday #dailydrawing #watercolours #watercolors #portrait #practicepracticepractice #practicemakesprogress
