(Since there's been so much talk about what Mormons believe lately, I thought it might be helpful for me to post some of their beliefs so you can judge for yourselves.

We Believe in God the eternal Father, and in Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost
Articles of Faith,
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints)

My critique group, Writers Pen, at the Authors by Design writers forum, has been trying to get me to see how I overuse some words for a long time. I think I finally got the message and am going through my MS to find some of these words and replace them with more descriptive, or more appropriate words. I'm not sure I have them all. So far the words I'm searching for are the following:
  • Walk
  • Turn
  • look

Can anyone else think of other often over-used words to add to that list?
