Replacing all your verbs with nouns in verb form doesn't make your prose more engaging, it usually makes it unreadable.

My book comes out today! It’s sad and funny and a little spooky and a lot mysterious and very weird, and you can buy it wherever fine books are sold in indie stores bookshop.org/p/books/happ...

Hope the Act 2 scene change goes good, me and the boys have been working on it for a month

About twice a week I accidentally dress like a stage tech whose big show is tonight

A sent text with a selfie of Frances, a white person with short dark hair. She is wearing all black and showing a very millennial cringe peace sign. The next text says “dressed like a stage tech again”
