When I should be writing and instead procrastinate, I come up with whacky ideas like identifying which words I make too liberal use of.

Breakdown of all words ocurring 25 or more times in my first chapter:

the: 1049 to: 691 a: 599 of: 513 is: 353
and: 332 this: 319 in: 305 you: 295 that: 292
string: 252 for: 225 =: 178 an: 178 are: 170
it: 157 as: 157 with: 155 will: 150 on: 130
if: 122 be: 120 can: 111 or: 104 console: 97
type: 96 example: 88 object: 85 method: 84 when: 81
also: 80 by: 79 these: 77 which: 74 int: 70
number: 70 code: 70 use: 70 using: 69 instance: 69
your: 67 gc: 67 types: 63 its: 62 there: 61
s: 59 value: 59 {: 59 }: 56 class: 56
do: 56 not: 56 other: 56 new: 55 //: 55
from: 55 time: 55 but: 54 simply: 54 two: 54
methods: 53 more: 52 datetime: 52 have: 50 character: 49
any: 48 at: 47 should: 45 characters: 45 strings: 44
one: 44 all: 43 return: 41 true: 40 actually: 40
need: 40 call: 40 so: 39 operations: 39 0: 39
some: 39 numbers: 38 than: 37 reference: 37 system: 37
chapter: 36 up: 36 formatting: 36 result: 36 i: 36
set: 36 just: 35 because: 35 data: 35 following: 35
often: 34 returns: 34 into: 34 information: 34 such: 34
most: 34 they: 34 array: 33 single: 32 e: 32
only: 32 same: 32 we: 32 available: 32 has: 32
each: 32 first: 31 them: 31 objects: 30 public: 30
boolean: 30 consider: 29 out: 29 exception: 29 decimal: 29
would: 29 point: 29 static: 28 10: 28 values: 28
how: 28 stringbuilder: 28 end: 27 even: 27 provides: 26
equality: 26 format: 26 instances: 26 buffer: 25

Interestingly, I have 59 opening curly braces {, but only 56 closing! Yikes... Wish I could do some lexical analysis on my Word document.
