Here are a few other things I watch out for: Weak Verbs: Weak verbs are boring and tend to be overused. Every writer's list will be somewhat different, but we also use a lot of the same weak verbs.

Verbs are the parts of a sentence that denote action or existence. An example of an action verb is 'eat' as in, "I eat the cookie." An example of a verb that indicates existence is 'is' as in, "Bob is a boy." A sentence can also contain a verb phrase, which is several words strung together.
