I am guilty of the adjectives thing. I don't always steer clear of them, but I try to replace them with something else.
I've been told that I use characters' names too much, and even now I still see it. I do my best to write something in such a way to avoid using a character's name, but argh! I read a fanfiction where this was really bad. The writer may have done it to avoid confusion when discussing more than one character in a scene, especially if they are the same gender.
I feel I'm pretty good now with sticking with a POV. I thought I read somewhere that omniscient third-person POV is hard to pull off? Some of my earlier stories had "head hopping." Is that the same thing?
