Avoid Unnecessary Adverbs

Example: Elizabeth narrowed her eyes, face red. “How dare you excuse me of that,” she shouted angrily. “You good for nothing jerk.”

As you can see, it's obvious by her facial contortions and words that she's angry. Therefore, it's unnecessary to say that she shouted angrily. You can rewrite the passage one of two ways:

Elizabeth narrowed her eyes, face red as she shouted: “How dare you excuse me of that. You good for nothing jerk.”

OR:

Elizabeth narrowed her eyes, face red. “How dare you excuse me of that,” she shouted. “You good for nothing jerk.”

Here’s another example:

Her heart clenched and she let out her breath. A tear tumbled down her cheek. “I never thought it would come to this,” she said sadly.

Again, it’s obvious that she’s sad, so there's no need to tag on that redundant adverb at the end.
