Words. Those of us who embrace writing can't live without them, and some of us do more that live with our lexemes. I for one, love to let words roll off my lips, I love to kiss words, I love to make love to certain words; I love to learn new words, then forget them, just so I can relearn them.

Certainly, there are words that are more splendid than most, and  for various reasons, just about everyone has favorites and least favorites. two of my least favorites are swine and intestinal. My favorite word? Uxorious. As defined at Dictionary.com, uxorious:

–adjective
doting upon, foolishly fond of, or affectionately submissive toward one's wife.

The one thing I am most guilty of- is sloppy self-editing. My little editor buddy sits on my shoulder during the first draft and tries to lasso me while I throw the words down, and he is a dead weight that abandons me when I need him most- during the rewrites. However, I have noticed that I am ignoring the annoying little bastard more often these days, and I am paying more attention throughout the rewrite process.
