Mini-Post: The Wasteline Test

Writer alert! Check out this web site. It's called The Wasteline Test, created by genius Helen Sword of New Zealand. If you write in English and you can cut and paste a sample, this is a nifty tool to figure out how many wasted words you may be using. The software scans your sample for be-words, adverbs, adjectives, abstract nouns, prepositional phrases and words like It, This, Am, There - that you generally don't need. (Oops. Adverb.) For the record, Mindbender came out "Fit & Trim," the second highest category. Woot! No Accounting for Taste clocked in at "Needs Toning", mainly because of my use of It, This, Am, There - I was Flabby in that category but Lean in everything else. Anyway, check it out.
