Perhaps doing a search of our manuscript for words we use constantly would help us find them and change them.<BR/><BR/>Anyone else have ideas how we can ferret out those words that sneak into our manuscripts?<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Susan :)Susan J.

As we're going through it, I found a word used several times. Very embarrassing.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Susan :)Susan J.

For the first time in many years, I'm getting a refund.<BR/><BR/>At the moment, I have so many lists that adding another is unthinkable. Maybe someday I'll have the time and mental energy to start one. For now, I try to be mindful of "favorite words."<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Susan :)Susan J.
