I've been using the list of words to watch out for to revise my first manuscript and have cut about 800-900 words in the last few days of about 100 pages of my manuscript. Even though it's a lot of work to go through the entire manuscript, it's worth it.

I've already gotten the attention of short fiction editors, but still not quite there with agents for my novels. I ultimately went with "just staying sharp". Even though I'm published, I don't *feel* like a pro at all.
