I love adjectives too much they have given me writing arthritis.

    Generally speaking, you can make your sentences more appealing by replacing excessive adjectives with better verbs and nouns. And if you want to be a fancy sounding writer you use more metaphors, sometimes just describing things as the metaphorical thing with no explanation.

    "The concert was loud and fun."

    "The music blared, the crowd ecstatically cheered with every pause."

    "Devotees to the beat smilingly chanted but few else could hear; they repeated the sacred 35 decibel poems dictated by their shaman."

    Not that any of the above is even close to good writing, but you get the idea. Also all of these things are a matter of style and imo clarity is the most important thing.
