WordCounter did its thing for me. Here are the top 25 words in my unpublished manuscript, The Little Office of the Immaculate Conception. The reason tantrum and America and panel are so frequent is that I have poems about each that repeat those words incessantly. Ditto with hate and because, but this does not explain all the times.
And o, I love how there are 29 o's.
Little, nothing, good, don't: I never would have guessed.
Or, speaking of never, 24 of those.
And obviously, I have a problem with beginning sentences "Say . . . ".
A very informative way to waste a half hour. Thanks to Kelli Agodon for sharing the WordCounter site.
Here's the complete results...

Having seen your guesses, this is a fantastic thing.
Tantrums. Have more.
Yes, nice to know I don't use zinger swear words as often as I thought!
You could probably so something meaningful, or at least interesting, with just these words. You know, the next time you have a half an hour to kill.
Hi Tracey:
I was just thinking the same thing. Why so many "ones"? Why is there some much "go"ing but also so much never and don't? o, o, o, and least "no" didn't make the list.
I challenge your readers to each write a poem that begins
One Tantrum America
...it would be interesting to see where they diverge from there.
