#writerscoffeeclub Feb 8: Which words do you overuse? Be honest.

Arc, arced and arcing.

OMG I'm so wedded to the image of something arcing: electrical energy, an arrow in flight. I massively over use this word. My wife picked it up and now she uses it to rib me.

Just arcng to the shops, I've arced your dinner.

I also use "just" too much. That inner, passive voice won't shut up 🤦‍♂️.
