Autocrit is a software that analyzes your work for overused/unnecessary words, cliches, and so on. Won’t take the place of a crit group imo, but makes those passes for your tell words like “that” and “just” a lot easier. You can use the wizard on the site for free with some limitations

Oh, sounds very cool! I will check it out. I’ll have to include it in the next roundup. Thanks for the info!
Oh, these are wonderful! I’m really excited to try out the Write Rhymes the next time I’m penning one of my 90s pop song parodies.
Have you seen Write or Die and Written? Kitten! Goofy, but fun! And I like the way one offers negative reinforcement, while the other offers adorable, I mean positive, reinforcement.

Hi Lori–That’s funny, I just made a note to include Written? Kitten! in my next roundup! I forgot to include it here. I’ve used Write or Die, too, and love it :). Thanks for the reminder–I am collecting these onto the resource page, so I’ll add these two as well.
I love the word frequency counter
Hi Sarah! I had a lot of fun playing with the “911 Writers Block” site, but that might prove more a distraction for me than an actual tool. The word frequency counter seems like it could actually be useful.
Hmm, I wonder if it will take a 50,000 word book?
