As you think on the above words, you can easily get a fix on what warmth would look like in one of your characters in your upcoming book.

All of us have run into a person who has been described as cold, cold-hearted, unfriendly, sour, bitter, off-putting, unpleasant, disconcerting, repellent, unappealing, uninviting, disagreeable, contentious, offensive, distasteful, unsavory, unpalatable, unappetizing, objectionable, nasty, disgusting, obnoxious, discouraging, disheartening, demoralizing, dispiriting, daunting, dismaying, forbidding, intimidating, frightening, formidable, horrid, and/or rebarbative.  All of these descriptions bring to mind a very unhappy person.

As a Writer, words are your world.

Make it a habit to study words and their meanings.

A great vocabulary is just one essential tool in a Writer’s toolbox, along with punctuation, grammar, and many other great tools for the writer.  Vocabulary can make your writing more powerful and more effective and help you say exactly what you mean.  This indispensable tool of studying words will help you choose the best word for every job and avoid vague words that do not give your readers a good sense of your meaning.

Building your vocabulary is one of the easiest ways to improve the power of your writing and make any writing task that much easier, as you will have several synonyms in your repertoire to pull from every time.  Developing your vocabulary need not be difficult or painful.

As you begin to study words on a daily basis, also do the same for emotions, feelings, reactions, and thought patterns.  You'll find that your research will serve you well as you write your next great story!

See you in our next great Blog Session dear Authors!
