Repetitive words..

Good Thursday morning! It's close to the weekend so I'm gonna pick an easier topic to post today.. repetitive words. For me, using the same word is sometimes mindless, I know it sneaks in my wip more times than I realize.. and we all want our manuscript to be the best we can possibly write, so give it another once-through and try to catch those words that keep coming up that really could be left out.. a few of mine are: that, she, he, his, her, what, the character's name, said.. you get the idea... But, if the repeated word can't be left out without the sentence working or if it feels awkward to you, leave it be. The goal is to catch the repeats that don't really need to be there and can be taken out or reworded for a more smooth/solid/non-filler worded story.. Oh, and keep a list of these words for the next story you write, so you can keep a look out for them while you edit, and/or add to the list new words you've stumbled across in you next wip. Hopes this helps! Happy Writing!
