Breaking up with bad writing habits

Dear Filter Words,

I feel that we have been together a long time. It seems as if  you have always been by my side, whenever I put pen to page, eager to insert yourself. By adding you it was as though there was a veil created between my writing and the reader, and I finally realized that in many ways you were responsible.

After much soul searching, I have decided that you and I will have to part. While I have considered various alternatives, the truth is that we do not suit each other. I reckon that, what with one thing and another, you are getting in the way.

sincerely,

Me
