Given Penny's post, here is another pet peeve of mine...

Ah, okay, I figured it out.  Duh!! :)
I found twenty-eight uses of "seem" or some permutation thereof in my own manuscript of 117,000 words.  Sixteen are in dialogue, which I assume is okay.(?)
There are a few more I can probably cut or change.

I don't honestly remember anything sticking out when I read your CBB; so now I think we've managed to make you paranoid. Are you referring to your new manuscript? No one can actually say yes or no to you without reading, because of the subjective nature of the useage, but I would fully trust your own instincts and that is a tiny number. I doubt you have any problems at all.  Relax, my friend and hugs!!!!  And keep me posted on your agent quest.


edited to remove an overwhelmingly horrific number of exclamation marks for 3:54PM in the afternoon--or any time of day actually.

It's the murder mystery I'm currently querying; completed prior to the self-pubbed book but edited several times since then.  Don't worry; I'm not getting paranoid!  I actually have quite a lot of confidence in the MS.
