When editing my books or screenplays I’m
sure to I find word or phrase that doesn’t fully
express what I wanted to put across to the reader.
Some character might find themselves
climbing ‘shaky’ steps upward when I know there
must be a better word to describe it.
I rattle my brain and nothing comes to mind.
Leaving me to pull out my trusty Collins English Dictionary & Thesaurus. It’s the latter that comes to my rescue.
Writer’s comment: I go back to ‘shaky’ steps and replace it with ‘rickety’ steps. Rickety gives me the scary physical feeling how I wanted it to feel.
