I'm currently searching words that I consider wishy washy for possible removal. The entirety of my night was going through every "maybe" and "possibly" in the novel and removing about a third of them. Maybe more. See!!! Fuck you "maybe!" Get back in your box!
Next up is "even". Then the biggest pussy of them all "was".
There are 2,500 uses of the word "was" in Seismic Semester btw.
*whimper*
"That sounds like something a crazy person would do, RR, are you--"
Yes, I know! But it makes the prose better for some godforsaken reason!
Don't even get me started on "that".
Asshole unneeded word half the time.
Grrr.
Crazy? *looks at your posts and your books* Yeah, that tracks.
