My swamp, my rules

I'm reading through my advisor's notes on the manuscript. At one point he circles the word 'swampy' and says 'You use this word a lot - starting to get noticeable.' So I ran 'swampy' through the Edit > Find tool in Word, and it's true - I use 'swampy' eight times in the manuscript. Eight things in the story are swampy. I had no idea the word had such a powerful hold on my imagination, but it does.

(I usually use it in connection with vomit. Just a bit of trivia for you there).
