Filler Words/Phrases to Cut From Your Writing

If you're working on your next book, short story, etc., you know there are certain writing no-nos to follow. One of these things includes filler words. These words can slow the pace of your story and make your content more concise. To make your work stronger, consider rewording, or deleting the following:



THAT

REALLY

VERY

ONLY

ATTEMPT

COMPLETELY

FINALLY

TO

LASTLY

SHOW UP

ABSOLUTELY

ACTUALLY

EVEN

LITERALLY

SUDDENLY

JUST

ALMOST

GOOD

SERIOUSLY

LIKE



I hope that this short list is helpful! Just to remind you, even though these words are usually used as filler words, it's still okay to use them sparingly. Happy writing!
