lea_hazel: Typewriter (Basic: Writing)

I made a crucial and painful decision that a fic I've been angsting over must be released into the wild to fend for itself, even if it's not perfect.

There are a lot of words and turns of phrase that I overuse. Usually I catch them as I'm going, because it's important to me to keep the language in my story diverse and interesting. Otherwise I get bored while writing it. I don't think I notice all of my writing tics or fixations, and I have a sneaking suspicion that my style is very recognizable. At least the words I insist on change pretty often. For instance, I've finally stopped trying to use the word "ostensibly" in every third sentence.
