Replacing "Boring" Words

When you write, you will want to use good words like, "excellent, gigantic, and hilarious," instead of "good, big, and funny." Here are some examples.

Before:
There was a big wolf blocking the road. I stopped our small car. He ran across the road when he saw us. We heard howls only minutes after he left. It was a good experience seeing him.

After:
There was an almost huge wolf blocking the road. I stopped our tiny car. He ran across the road when he saw us. We heard howls only minutes after he left. It was an awesome experience seeing him.

You can really see the difference! You can also add words in between your other ones to add details.

Before:
There was an almost huge wolf blocking the road. I stopped our tiny car. He ran across the road when he saw us. We heard howls only minutes after he left. It was an awesome experience seeing him.

After:
There was an almost huge grey wolf blocking the road. quickly stopped our tiny car. He ran swiftly across the road when he saw us. We heard multiple howls only a few minutes after he left. It was an awesome experience seeing him.

There is even more detail after adding just these few words! I hope this helps!
