last couple of days I've been trying to expand my reading selection on the site, and include a few other characters to follow. I figured it would be healthy to try and get an idea of some of you write. If for being else, just to see who I could become compatible with for potential IC interaction...
However, I've been running into some posts--no need to specify--that I'm getting lost in because of too much thesaurus-ing. Look, we all wanna sound intelligent and all, but a lot of times when you thesaurus something the meaning of what you're trying to convey gets lost in translation.
Ex. If your thesaurus the word bashing you will get a few words, like bludgeoning.
While both these words imply the same thing essentially, bludgeoning someone is bashing someone with a particular item--a bludgeon.
So, long story short, try to look up the meaning of a word you're thesaurus-ing before you decide to use it, because what you're trying to convey can potentially be lost in translation.
That's all. Happy writing everyone!
And sorry for so many errors in post. I lost internet service and am resorting to my phone
