 --What 5 words do you tend to overuse as a writer?

1. Has got to be "just." When I'm not writing for fun (I was going to say "just" for fun!) I have to go through and search for the "justs" and delete half of them! I just... love it, I don't know why. I think it's one of those words that deflects even as it sounds strong?
2. Someone once said they could always tell which fic in an anonymous exchange was mine because mine would have the word eldritch in it. I love the feeling it describes and the feeling of the word itself... but I cut down on it dramatically after that, lol.
After that I'm less sure, but when writing about Clark and Bruce I know I've been guilty of over-using alternate words for blue to describe their eyes! I've committed sins of cerulean, sapphire, azure, cobalt and slate at least.
I'm about to leave for a week in Canada, so I doubt I'll remember to post next week, but I hope everyone's writing is going well!
