#weak words

I’ve made this what it shouldn’t be;

An occupation; a job; a responsibility 

~

Prior to recently,

I wrote mostly for me 

~

Now I’m limited to disclaimers 

I have to apologise for my rhymes 

Frantically trying to wipe off the ink with an eraser

Constantly editing the words I write.

~

This is my fault,

If I had just safeguarded my thoughts 

Quarantined them

Protected them from infection, from rusts and dents

~

If only I didn’t try

To popularise

Didn't let the number of notes get to my head 

Frequently going through every comment or like

If only I remained firm to the end

~

~

Sadly though, it seems it’s too late

Because even the words I just wrote

Has been served in a pre-seasoned plate

 ~

Sadly my ink has lost its power

 Lost it’s purpose and worth

 Now my writing seems empty enough to be devoured

 A simple plate of weak words.

When you're writing your book, it is common to include a lot of words that you don't need. This doesn't mean that you are a bad writer, because everyone does this.

Additionally, there are so many words that are unnecessary, and many authors don't even know it. As you gain experience writing, you will find that these words feel stale, and that there are better words to replace them.

Thankfully, using the advice in this article, you can turn weak phrases into good writing and become a better writer in the process.

So what do you do about all of these words, and how can you find them?

 In this article, you will learn:

The different types of words to cut

A list of specific words you should avoid

My anxiety feels as though I’m lost at sea

My eyes open wide, nothing by my side.

Not a bee, not a tree, nothing but insanity.

I’ve been caught in this storm,

It’s been this way since the day I was born.

There’s not much I’ve ever adorn

Even “love” pricks deeper than the sharpest thorn

My mind constantly torturing me,

Social anxiety hiding me quietly.

Self doubt drowning me as the ship slowly sinks,

All it takes is a moment to rethink.

Fear and pain is nothing new to me,

It’s not something I couldn’t foresee.
