: Re: Eliminating repetitive “which was ... ” statements at the end of sentences I have noticed lately, that when I write letters describing things I've done recently, I default too often to sentences

Do a search for "which was." (or whatever your problem structure is)

Set up a checklist of five different ways to rewrite it:
1) We did such-and-such. I enjoyed it.
2) When we did such-and-such, everyone had a great time.
3) Plus we really had fun that time we did such-and-such.
4) Have you ever done such-and-such? What a blast.
5) Such-and-such is so much fun; I have to tell you about the most recent time.
et cetera.

Then go through and rewrite. You can leave some of the originals, but vary them until your ear stops tripping over it.
