Heart Transplant and Back Surgery

No, not me or even a friend or family member…MY WIP!

I lost count as to how many HEARTs and BACKs are in my WIP. Between my the heart lurching, and jumping into throats and thudding against her ribs it’s no wonder my WIP had a BACK problem as well.

As in BACK THEN, instead of plain old then. And “she sat BACK down.” Instead of “she sat down.”

I’ve successfully added different visceral emotions to HALF of the HEART references, but I’m only halfway through the painful, yet fairly easy BACK surgery.

What are the unnecessary and repetitive words you use over and over and over again in your WIP?

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
