May I ask how you increase your vocabulary? I took inspiration from your writing but it does not quite feel enough. I would like to be able to write like you do.
Tone tag = genuine.
Hello hello! I am delighted to have gotten your ask!
Hmm… for my vocabulary, it really came from reading a lot of different books and just picking up on the way authors structured their stories. I always endeavor to have descriptors in my sentences, or I want it to feel like a pretty/elegant thing to read.
Or another thing I have done is to find someone who writes words, in a way that makes you inspired and want to create, feel genuine emotion after reading and take apart their writing, piece by piece to understand how it was achieved.
I’ve picked up many words by proxy, encountering them in the wild and finding them odd or interesting enough to add to my collection. Or another thing I’ve found fun to do as of late is to find the word that you want, and either figure out a synonym or use the thesaurus to figure out a fitting replacement.
To take it a step farther, if it’s a word I don’t exactly know the meaning of, I’ll do extra research and see how it’s used structurally in a sentence. It’s seeing if you can swap the words out without diminishing the meaning of your intentions.
Hmm..about my writing style, it simply the way I think and interact with subjects, as someone who thinks too much about everything. When I write, it’s to spark someone to think deeper, or to let a conversation happen showing me a different side I’ve never considered before. And yet! I do not proclaim to totally understand what I am doing, because writing like this for others is quite new to me also!
Everything is a continuous learning process and from what I’ve seen you create, is absolutely beautiful nonetheless. I would encourage you to keep going, keep evolving because with practice, you can only get better. Please we implore you, keep writing!
Really, I would love to write as you do! Through this arc you’ve helped create, I as well as many others have felt a whole range of emotions from shock to surprise, anger to sadness and it is no easy feat to express that within the confines of a paragraph.
The way you use descriptors enhances many aspects of what you’re describing, from the appearance, the uncanniness and how it moves. You provide enough detail and context for a reader to visualize the scene itself and you allow the reader to feel the horror, the dichotomy of words that should be sweet, but are used in the cruelest of ways. How the questions hit deep, the suspense growing, how you have turned each opportunity towards your own favored outcome. Truely, we were on the edge of our seats, patiently or I’m-patiently, waiting for things to pan out.
So instead, I and many other anons on this site thank you, anon of many names, for inspiring us to create in turn, for giving us a wonderful story to reminisce on.
If you ever want to converse again in the future, please dm me, I would absolutely be delighted to!
