The only words I try to avoid overusing are verbs, and boring words like "said" and "go". Otherwise, I simply go to town with what I write.

I am listening to music as I write Chapter 15 of FFR: The Phantom Challenge. I am trying to finish as much as possible, because I know I won't get another chance to write for another week or so.
