42m · REDink Writers · 15 Aug 19:58

Crutches, also known as crutch words or filler words, are very common in the writing world. They distract us, they make our work appear messy and around the point, and above all: we need to learn how to drop them. This episode, we’ll spend some time giving you tips and tricks on how to recognize your own crutch words, and what you could do to easily edit them out of your drafts.
