RE: I Have Decided To Try Everything

Sometimes things we want to say had been said already by other people. Some of those people said it better than others. It goes back to reading, and the more we read the better we write (and speak).

Simple language is limited by the number of words available to it. That's not a criticism about simple language; it's just a fact about it. So we need alternative words to supplement simple language.

Try this: just write whatever you need to write so that it's out there. See what's repeated, then find an alternative word for it. Repetition is OK and sometimes necessary, but we need to space it out.

If you have a favorite writer (or even if you don't), see how that writer uses language. If it's language which reaches you, use it and make it your own. Television and movies are also good for this purpose, especially if you've already seen what's being shown.

At the moment it seems like a problem big enough to have you worried. We all go through that occasionally, whether we're learning a new language or we're award-winning writers like J. K. Rowling. With enough practice, we'll find ourselves writing in what feels like an inspired manner. Then the gaps between moments of lack of words become greater and greater.

You'll figure it out soon enough, and then it will click for you.
