paulchernoch 457 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I always spend a lot of time removing filler words (called weasel words or equivocations by some). Adverbs and adjectives, too. The sentence starter thing is something I deal with subconciously as I write, fixing it only when an egregious example of repetition jumps out at me. I should be deliberate about it. I liked the statistics about how often names or pronouns start sentences in several popular novels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shamrock 1,428 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I looked at the AutoCrit website. It does look useful. I like the fact that it is author orientated and you can compare your work to published books. (Useful when writing to agents/publishers). The one thing it does not tell you is how much it costs. It only provides the offer of a free trial. I really don't like it when sites do that. Anyone know the annual subscription rate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
