My video at the bottom of the post features the Writer's Diet Test, a web tool, app, and book by Helen Sword (2016) at https://writersdiet.com/writing-test/
If you like a humorous analysis of your word choices that uses a diet and health motif, this is the tool for you. It analyzes 100-1000 words and color codes them by be-verbs, zombie nouns, prepositions, ad-words, and it, this, that, there.

I love it and use it for my academic and fiction writing. While my nouns are rarely fit and trim as it seems to be an occupational hazard to be fond of them.
