Hey, when you guys are writing(if you do) Do you have problems changing Said for something? It happens once and awhile while I'm writing but what are some of the other words you use most often for a replacement for Said.


Give ones with this kind of Sentence:

Amazed
Sad
Mad
Bored
Normal

Basically tell me something you would replace said for in a story or something if the sentence showed emotions of one of those...

I was asking what people use oter then Said.....its a common thing people mess up on in writing, overly using Said, I just wanted to see if people in KMC who write have tht problem and how they themselves change it, is that a crime?

Laughed

Smiled

Uttered

Shouted

Use descriptive words, something which helps the reader see the way the character is actually saying the words. You can use almost anything that way.

I've always got stuck with like 7 to choose from, I don't know why. I just use a thesaurus most the time but I can't find mine so yeah. I don't like the Internet one either.... I'm 13 pages into my new story. ^_^

Retorted


... kinda like "retarded", but not.

Im sorry im getting a little confused here

wtf well, don't judge of thread by the title huh. (Or the user)

Exclaimed

Muttered

Cried

Shrieked

you can use a lot of words. When writing a story, it's good to consider what mood the character is in....and also, what situation they're in.

In a dialogue sequence, I can usually avoid saying "said" altogether.

Buy a thesaurus

**** you then

You might get a better response in the GDF. Try using a thesaurus.

Ones to use depending on context are interjected, exclaimed, murmured, chirruped, demurred, broke in etc.
