J- is for Just

Just
This seems to be one of my favorite words when I write my first draft, because in subsequent revisions I have to eliminate tons of them. The funny thing is, that after I remove all of those extra justs, the sentence reads the same, if not better.
Just is just a filler.
How many useless words could you eliminate by just editing them?

  1. I have a problem with just, too. I just get rid of it during revision. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
