Skimming through the Miss Snark archives, I came along this lovely piece of advice which I will have to remember during my editing process:
One of Miss Snark's most common complaints: double verbing.
Any time you see "was" "had" "were" with another verb you can probably remove it and spiff up your writing 100%.
