Mostly just going to post my random ramblings here.
Reblogged from ewereka
Why didn’t anyone make this sooner? I hate when people only use the word “said” in stories.
THANK YOU
A on my hw tonight, here i come!
‘“What a Grenadier!” ejaculated Javert’ ▬ Les Misérables, Victor Hugo
That said (haha see what I did there) there’s nothing wrong with the word said. And sometimes, that’s all you need.
I just need all of this on my blog.
Poor Javert…I hate using the word “said” so I love this.
granted they’re not really synonyms…
I used to think that using the word “said” so much was a sign of bad writing. But I’ve learned eventually that it’s perfectly fine to use “said” when you can’t think of anything else, as it gives the moments when you use a replacement (i.e. “yelled” or “cried”) that much more potent.
Still, this a very helpful thing to have!
