No one wants writing that sounds like a Tom Swifty:  "Breathe deeply," the doctor said patiently.

Writing teachers and writing books say, "Drop all adverbs!"

I do proofread for unnecessary adverbs.  I can find a better way to express what the adverb is saying:

She spoke sternly.

She frowned, her voice stern with fear.

Rule #1 in my high school composition classes was "just say NO to SO." Sentences reflect more energy without that tired, old so.

Rule #2, from Payne's The Lively Art of Writing:  Avoid sentences that begin with Here or There.  These two expletives cause an inversion of the subject and the sentence falls flat.  When you see either of them, try another way:

There was a big pond at the north of the park.

A big pond lured us to the north of the park.
