📝 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.
