Weak Words

When you’re reading through your writing, try to notice which words you use too often.  I’ve just finished editing my next novel, and my editor pointed out that there were several words I leaned on far too frequently.  With some imagination, some hard work, and the find key in Word, I was able to expand my vocabulary, improving the text.

Here are three of my weak words which kept cropping up:

MOMENT

FOCUS

STARE

What are your weak words?  Can you find and replace them?
