I am sure I have abused this in <i>far</i> too many ways but I&#39;m hoping that in the re-writes and edits I can stomp them out. They are sneaky little things...*smirks* =PKeri Paytonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02798087116747300452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1866164356127208830.post-72179452847928137352010-02-10T20:41:09.316-07:002010-02-10T20:41:09.316-07:00Great post Stina!

I do it over and over. And you know what? My agent pointed it out. How embarrassing is that? Yeah. Embarrassing. <br /><br />I like the idea of searching and finding, though.Elana Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05877856005992028912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1866164356127208830.post-35035795812996215332010-02-10T07:07:41.320-07:002010-02-10T07:07:41.320-07:00Oh my goodness, I am SO bad about this. In my last ms, I really overused &quot;heart&quot; to describe emotion. Beating heart, skipping heart, knife through the heart, swelling heart, and on and on. Luckily my wonderful crit partners pointed them out. I did a search and find also and I think there was actually an instance where I used the word heart, or something to do with the heart, a total of eight times...on ONE page. Yeah.<br /><br />So now I try to be a little more aware of what I&#39;m doing when it comes to physical reactions. :)Michelle McLeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08730366330276974943noreply@blogger.com
