ALT: a close up of a woman 's face making a funny face .

Are there any words that make you cringe when you read them? Or roll your eyes? Or ones that have a worn handle that fits the shape of your palm? Those sparkly gems that your beta readers note might be a bit overused? We all got ‘em! Though I’m still wondering why I have such an affection for ‘heave’…? And ‘hurry’? I’m guess it’s because I like my characters to live life with a bit of effort maybe?#YA #YAFantasy #bookstagram #writingcommunity #throughthepines
