Write, Click and Right Click

“Carmen glared (stared angrily, glowered, looked fiercely, frowned, looked defiantly) at her nemesis (opponent, arch rival, enemy, challenger, antagonist, adversary, foe) as she glided (slid, sashayed, flew, slithered, slinked, slipped, moved smoothly) across the dance floor.” Who doesn’t love the synonym button? I told a writer friend of mine how nice it was to have help from the computer when trying to find just the right word and he didn’t even know about right clicking the words. Faster than a paperback thesaurus, this click quick feature puts creativity at your fingertips, literally. And to boost your imagination, check the synonyms of synonyms. For example “creativity” will give you originality, imagination, inspiration, ingenuity, inventiveness, resourcefulness, creativeness and vision, but not innovation, novelty, uniqueness or inventiveness, one of which might be the word that you want. I had to click on “originality”, one of creativity’s synonyms to find them. Stories could change based on the right click. Mmmm, writing is fun (enjoyable, exciting, pleasurable).
