One of the never ending tasks of writing is expanding your vocabulary.
The use of ‘concrete’ nouns and adjectives bring clarity to writing. By that I mean using the correct term or word in a situation. To do this you need to first find what you think is the right word and then make sure you know it’s meaning.
The other day I got to grips with different types of rock for something I was writing. I had to find the correct term.
Here are a few:
Aggregate
Conglomerate
Dolomite
Lodestone
Obsidian
Pumice
Sedimentary
Shale
shingle
schist
slate
granite
basalt
scoria
greywacke
mudstone
greystone
Do you know the difference? I didn’t but I do now!
Writing is also endless learning.
