I'm working on the WiP, and noticing yet another flare up of the same ol' words. Plus a new one or two. Just shoot me. And that's my problem, because I don't know how I'm going to make myself stop. It's too hard, so I'm going to just go ahead and tell you, because the list is pretty short.
just
pretty
because
so
yet
that
Those are the five that seem to pop up the most.
What are your crutch words? What did you use instead to change it up, or take their place?
I read a blog this morning where a newly published first time author stated she was able to remove 300 words by deleting most of her "that"s and "just"s.
That could *so* be me. (Probably more than 300.)
