Just kidding of course. I love learning and stretching for new heights. If putting a list on my desk will get this annoying habit banned, I'm off to create the list.<BR/><BR/>Maybe next week we'll ask if authors gain or risk readership by posting political views:-). Is there really no such thing as bad publicity? I loved your blog today and salute your guts.Charlotte Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09336641340221491792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179114314622312316.post-85733875615551476132008-11-05T13:46:00.000-06:002008-11-05T13:46:00.000-06:00Desk-side lists work great.

I'll use it over and over and so close together that when I go into edit mode I am repulsed by the repetition. Like maybe "horrific." Or "tremendous." When I edit and start sniffing a redundancy problem, I do a word search for that word in the ms with my thesaurus up. I find other words that will work just as well without subjecting my readers to the agony of having to read the same old tired overused word all the way through a chapter or segment or even the entire book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
