Thank you for a great suggestion to try to eliminate words like very, really, rather, etc. These are words that don't hold a lot of meaning and create filler in the story. My personal overused word is "just" -- I have to be on the lookout for that particular word in all my manuscripts.
Oh, yes! I don’t think I even want to see my stats for “just” 😆 I have a bad habit of using words like “simply” and then trying to justify them as being my POVC’s voice 😬
