And hopped into Scrivener and checked out the word statistics... the manuscript is 120,738 words.
12 words are used more than 1000 times, those twelve make up 31,774 words.
In order of appearances: The, and, a, to, of, his, in, her, he, but, she, and with make up roughly 1/4 of the words used.
"The" is 6.39% of the book. Not shocking as it is the #1 word according to wikipedia at 7% usage on average.
One of my pet peeve words "that" I manage to only use 345 times, or 0.28%.
The number of words I only used once was too big to count, I was not that bored, LOL.
So, any other folks been bored enough to look at these things? And is there somewhere a statistical analysis of word usage in prose? Insane minds want to know, LOL.
