Really useful! Much easier to prune these redundancies while editing rather than worrying about them while writing, since all of us will unavoidably use these in conversation now and again without even thinking about it.

I can't believe how many unnecessary "downs" I had in my WIP! Genuinely a bit horrified as there were about 100. I also searched for all the "thens" and found 100 in 50k words! I decided to delete them all in one go. So far, I haven't noticed their absence during re-reading.

That sounds really strange. "Then" is also perfectly functional. So surely you'd have to go case-by-case to see which ones are superfluous.

I understand that it's probably better to describe the feeling of something but wouldn't the character know she's blushing if she knows what blushing feels like? It's like saying the wind blew through my hair. Can I see it at all times? No. Do I know what it feels like? Yes. All that being said, sometimes we feel like we're blushing when it's not even noticeable to anyone else.

2:00 - I struggle with this one. The only time I include these is if the POV character assumes something about another character. I don't know whether or not to keep them, but I also look forward to another set of eyes reading through my novel because what the character assumes may be obvious.

Great video but I just wanted to add that when someone say's "He screamed." It isn't always obvious if they are angry and for all I know he could be in terror or he could scream out of shock, so if you go rid of angerly you don't really know what emotion he is feeling just based off of that.

Wouldn't it sometimes be a good thing to intentionally use vague words? For example, if you meant for the narrator to sound unsure so their confusion/nervousness/fear/etc. would come through clearly to the audience.

How to edit out the "to be" verbs in the following paragraph: The British ocean liner Titanic was a large ship that thought to be unsinkable. The Titanic made its first in 1912. It was scheduled to sail from England to New York The ship was about 1,600 miles from New York when it collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic. This collision caused a gash 300 feet long in the ship's hull. It took two hours and forty minutes for the Titanic to sink. The worst part was that there were not enough lifeboats for everyone. Tragically, about 1,400 people died that night. Due to many lives lost, the sinking of the Titanic is considered to be the deadliest peacetime, maritime disaster in modern history. The Titanic has undoubtedly become one of the most famous ships in history. Their memory is kept alive by numerous books, folk songs, movies, exhibits, and memorials.
