As a freelance writer, there are certain words that merely add fluff to a piece of work, like articles and blog posts. For instance, "very" and "suddenly" are often grossly overused. I know I've done posts before on words (like the most misspelled ones), but this post is different; these "fluff" words should be totally erased from your writing!

1. Sudden and suddenly. Instead of using "sudden" or "suddenly" to make the reader feel that some action or event has just happened (or is about to), use an action or the sentence to tell your reader exactly what is going to occur. Get rid of these two words and write more descriptively instead, explaining to the reader about the surprising new plot development. 
2. Very. There are so many other, better words to use in writing other than "very". Be detailed and creative when writing a piece (whether it's just for yourself or a paid project for a client) and steer clear of using "very"; for example, instead of writing "very nice", use friendly, affable, or kind.
