Last week, we were talking about these little guys. SVs describe a state, something that remains static.

The wind feels wonderful.

I like it, a lot.

You could say The wind is feeling wonderful and I am liking it a lot, but it just sounds weird.  The nice thing about this type of verb is that, in my mind, it’s related to the telling verbs. I wonder if I looked at the state of the character/subject in my sentence, if I could tighten my writing¦worth thinking about¦
