cincodenada replied to your post: SORRY to break tags of me but I’m rakhat-answers…

blogginaugust has never failed me, I don’t understand why people try to use other
things.  Also, sometimes you get to typo it as bligginaugust, which is
great.  Bligginigist, she’s where it’s at.

leave it to Joel to be practical about it. maybe I’ll be bligginigist next.

and annapear, I’m sorryyyyyy, watch though it’ll change back next time I read those books. which I need copies of.

Bare Bones Writing Tips #2: Find That Word!

writingbonesblog:

As much as teachers and writers recommend you never consult a thesaurus, there are times when you can’t quite get a hold of the word you’re searching for. Whether it’s a thesaurus or dictionary, you need to consult some sort of word-oriented book or site. So, to help you out, here’s a few that go beyond that:

Tip of My Tongue:
– fairly thorough database (though not huge)
– allows you to search for a word based on partial spelling content, partial definition, or certain letters involved
-supplies only one definition per word, but helps narrow down your search

One Look:
– a reverse dictionary; look up a word by its definition
– supplies a four column list of up to 100 suggestions
– now filterable by verb, adverb, adjective, or noun
– each suggested word is a link to a page with all its definitions, linked to the site it was indexed from
– might take a few searches to find what you’re looking for, but very helpful

RhymeZone:
– a rhyming dictionary
– supplies potential rhymes by number of syllable
– has links to definitions of suggestions
– simple and effective

And, for anyone who just needs another word than that one adjective they’ve already used a dozen times in the past 500 words, there’s always Thesaurus.com.

Good luck, and happy writing!
