I stopped reading after a big, but the thing with repetition is, depending on the subject matter it can be needed.

For example there was a short story I read once, only around a 6 min listen.

First they decalred there lover, as well, there lover(Which makes you imply there gay for obvious reasons) Then changed it to her boyfriend, then to lover again, then to mate, then to partner, etc, etc, and it makes you lose focus of the whole thing.

One advice I would give people is to lay off all the fucking commas. I myself have to go back and edit out like 30 per page, but sometimes in the writers workshop they have around 3 per sentance.
