This week's episode is another edition of editing quick tips: What to do when your characters are constantly looking, frowning, sighing or anything else completely repetitive, redundant, duplicative and repetitive.

As always, this stuff is perfectly fine in your first drafts, this is just something to keep an eye on when editing your story.

P.S. Sorry if the audio is weird - I have more technical issues than I have the time to deal with them, but I'll do my best to return with pristine audio next week.
