Stuff we wish we didn't see so much. It may be pertinent to mention that these are only our opinion. But God, if you don't know that, go to Disney.

1. Fear of "said"
Don't worry. The word "said" isn't going to come after you with a shotgun. It's your friend. Embrace it.

2. Tell-all opening paragraphs
Leave a little to my imagination, will you?

3. Begging for feedback
Give her feedback, everyone! We wouldn't want her to stop writing!

4. Being wordy
"And on that dark, post-dusk night, it did so happen that it came to pass that Jim gazed longingly, in a loving way, at Blair." And other such nonesense.

5. Things that, people who
It's fairly simple, really.
