"dos and don'ts" of leads

I have a trouble electing the adverbs and adjectives that need deleting.  I often incorporate them into my writing, which may turn my readers away. The adverbs and adjectives, I so commonly use, may give an objective view to my audience. They are unnecessary and may state the obvious. I have learned that sentences with out adverbs or adjectives make my story stronger, more intelligent and in some cases less opinionated. 

Writing with an echo is an area I struggle with. I am redundant with particular words. This weakness makes my story weak. I learned to avoid an echo by better understanding the english language and expanding my vocabulary.
