Filtering Out Filter Words

If we could only show you one thing, we’d love for it to be this: the importance of reducing filter words in your writing.
In this episode, we break down what a filter word is and discuss why it’s worthwhile to cut them + how you can.
Filter words add unnecessary distance between your POV character and your reader, effectively turning intense, emotional, and profound moments into reported, secondhand summaries. Unless you want to keep your reader at bay, these sneaky words have got to go. There are, of course, exceptions that we explore here too!
