The Many Wonders of a Good Thesaurus

9/8/2011

1 Comment

 
Being a good writer is more than merely knowing how to put words on a page. It is more than mastering grammar, mechanics, and usage. It is also possible to struggle enormously with academic writing assignments,while being a truly gifted creative fiction or non-fiction writer. Find yourself in your thesaurus...once you find a thesaurus that works for you. As for actual texts, I prefer Roget's International Thesaurus; online, I regularly use thesaurus.com, freethesaurus.net, and more recently, I have loved using the somewhat unconventional Thinkmap Visual Thesaurus (visualthesaurus.com). Given enough time, confidence, and the right resources, anyone can learn to express themselves with articulate eloquence. Learn how to enjoy and play with words, and you will find that the writing process can be transformed from a chore to a favorite hobby.
