A big problem I found in writing writing is using the word, ‘said’, as in:
“It’s a nice day,” he said.
The problem is that it doesn’t express emotion and it can become repetitive.
As a result, here is a list of alternative words
| Talking | Called, Spoke, Stuttered, Whispered, |
| Answering | Acknowledged, Answered, Replied |
| Agreed, Disagreed, Rebuffed | |
| Angry | Argued, Cursed, Retaliated, Retorted, Scolded, Shouted |
| Sad | Sighed, Whimpered |
| Advice | Offered, Suggested |
| Surprise | Exclaimed |
| Mentioned / Neglected to mention | |
| Mused, considered, pondered | |
| Commanded, Ordered | |
| Pleaded, Begged | |
LY Words
We can add more feeling using adjectives such as ly words
Ex: “That was delicious,” he said happily.
| Reluctantly, Sadly | |
| Angrily, | |
| Smugly, | |
