How do you feel about week words and filter words?
I am well aware that I am on an island with this thought, but most of the "bad" books I critique/edit have this problem. Once I show the author some alternatives, most get excited and go back to "fix" the weaknesses. I always ask them if they like the story better or if they don't like the changes. Only one hated my suggestions.
But his response was, "I don't have time to write more creative sentences."
So, there you go.
Thoughts?

If it is about using more apt word, then that is good.
