In this episode of the Life Writers vlog, we explore the subtle words that sneak into our writing and hide right under our noses.
Let’s dig into Bite #101, “It’s Just So Unjust,” from my book, Eating an Elephant: Write Your Life One Bite at a Time.
I share a personal, and embarrassing, revelation about my overuse of the word just and discuss breaking other favorite-word habits.
Watch the video, and then share some of the empty words that nest in your best stories.
Until next time, happy writing, everybody!
