I'm switching over to questions about the character whose POV you're in most recently! I like these because it's a chance to think about what makes the characters of a story tick a bit. In this case it's Clark Kent (though a genderbent Clark!)

--What words or phrases does your most recent POV character overuse?

Funny, since I write mostly in comic books and wrestling, those character are sometimes little BUT a collection of catchphrases. My female version of Clark doesn't say "Rao" very often, and she's just starting her career so she hasn't had many chances to talk about "Truth, Justice, and the American way," or say "Up up and away," but I believe she has been known to say "Great Scott" now and then...

My current POV character is Lois. She's visiting Paradise Island as Diana's guest, and I have a pretty good idea of how I want the story to go.

Hmm, I've just started writing it, so no overuse of anything, but maybe "Freedom of the press!" as the story unfolds. ;)

Haha, that is so true for writing comic book superheroes. ;)

My current characters is not a superhero but a legendary hero in her part of fantasy land, and she uses the word "darling" a whole lot.
