The Right Words

"The difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug." - Mark Twain

How to find the right word every time, in every sentence, in every scene. How to make the reader jolt with pleasure at your word combinations.

It is a struggle...

"... my guts were wrenched as if one hand had forced its way down my throat and quenched them, taking pleasure in giving me spasms." -- Daimones

Sometimes it feels that way while writing.
