Everyone Needs A Little Help

One particular member of my writer’s critique group is blessed with the incredible ability of strong word choice, verbs in particular.  I envy him.  Sometimes I feel like I fight for every verb I choose, and I finally decided it was time to invest in some help.  So, I bought The Synonym Finder by J. I. Rodale.  Basically it is a large book that is like a thesaurus on steroids.  I’m impressed with it thus far and I feel it was worth the money.

No, just using the Microsoft word thesaurus is not enough and so far this book beats out thesaurus.com too.  I haven’t actually found a website that is organized in the same manner and has the same results as the book I just purchased.  If I ever do find a website that matches or rivals this book, I’ll be sure and let you all know.
