I noticed today that I use the word "actually" way too much. I did a quick little Ctrl+F and found tons of instances of the word. It's not like in the meat post - I meant to use that word a lot because I just like how that word sounds - it has a funny sound to it when it's repeated a lot. Meat. On topic, though, I'm using the word "actually" all over the place.
I'm unclear if I should just consider this part of my "writing style" or if it's more indicative of a lack of vocabulary and my general inability to articulate my thoughts effectively. Or maybe I doubt my readers too much. "Well ACTUALLY..."
I don't know. I'll need to think about this one for a bit - it troubles me.

No thinking - that comes later. You must write your first draft with your heart. You rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is... to write, not to think!
