Writing well: choosing the right words

  • Avoid at all costs the cliches of the thousands of writers who have gone before you.
  • When you’re choosing words and stringing them together, be aware of how they sound.
  • Use words you enjoy and that are vivid.
  • Know the subtle differences between synonyms and which one best expresses what you want to say.
  • Use the words that have precise meanings rather than those that are vague.

Choosing The Right Words

Works are like keys that can lock or unlock minds. Use a neutral tone combined with the right words, avoiding conflicting or loaded ones.

It is also a good idea to keep the questions open-ended. Closed-ended questions often sound loaded or biased to the interlocutor.
