words

according to wordcounter, the five most common words in my manuscript (as it stands) are:

Through
Tree
Summer
Day
One

I wasn't terribly surprised. I write an awful lot about trees, and summer, and movement. Debating if I should edit some of these down to less frequency? Is 26 times too many times to say "through" in 74 pages? Or is that one of those hard-to-avoid, nondescript words, like "and" or "the" ?

The rest of the list, if you are curious:

come
hand
back
small
over
home
place
house
body
water
look
grass
down
white
bird
keep
window
time
room
limb

  1. Those are great words to repeat. :-) I don't think you should edit for frequency! It's great!
