I imagine
that you wonder just what the heck has been keeping me so busy lately. I have
been fighting with words. It would seem that I am hung up on the “to be” words.
My manuscripts are full of them. I probably use twice as many as I should. I
have problems with “had” as well.
I have been
taking my own challenge in an effort to cut them way down. Someone told me that
writing could be done with none of the “to be” words. It seems to make for a
whole lot of rewriting and rewording. I am not keen on the results I am having
so far. Have set my WORD program to change the “BAD” words so that I can see
where they are. Here is an example of what I am talking about:
My name donotusethisword
Sharon and I donotusethisword a mediocre writer. I used to love to write and
then discovered I donotusethisword doing it all wrong. I donotusethisword so
surprised, how could I donotusethisword so blind? It donotusethisword
disgusting that I donotusethisword using so many bad words. How could I have donotusethisword
so wrong? I donotusethisword a writing sinner, donotusethisword you? Some days
I think donotusethisword a writer really donotusethisword too much work. It’s a
challenge, if I wasn’t so in love with Julia, I donotusethisword positive I
would donotusethisword tempted to delete it. I never said I donotusethisword
smart. Therefore, I plug away and wish I donotusethisword at the beach. I donotusethisword
only a human donotusethisword.
Can you see
my problem? It even missed some. Can you find them?
Have a
great rest of the weekend!
