Seeking advice from experienced author

to see if you have a favorite word/phrase that you are overusing and find an alternative. Or if you are using the same phrase repeatedly within a group of sentences and then switching to another, mix them up.

I actually do this, a lot. It's something I need to work on. a lot.

";" is not a period. In most every place you've put a ";" to string a bunch of short sentences together, use periods and make those sentences stand on their own. They are more powerful that way.

I have this addiction to the ';' sign. Once you start, you can't go without using it. Yet another bad habbit I need to work on.

I'm actually taking a 2-week break from writing to focus on my finals... after I should have more time to keep writing. Thanks for the respone! And again, feel free to criticize my writing; I know it is far from perfect.
