Exaggerated, maybe, but something to think about: What do you do too-much-the-same-of in your writing?

I often write long sentences in which the structure is probably not perfectly clear; where devices, such as separating clauses with semicolons, are used excessively; and where I occasionally dare combine semicolons and colons together: to illustrate and emphasize and ornament.
