Bathing with a dictionary!
A Fan Fiction Writer's GuideIt's wonderful to use an elevated vocabulary, but don't use so many uncommon words to the point where the reader would want to go bathe with their dictionary.
Example:
Baekhyun woke up and noticed a phosphorecent light permeating throught his window. Then he put his feet on the frigid ground that made it feel like his feet were benumbed by the tile and lethargically made his way to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, he expeditiousy was cognizant of how abhorrent his countenance was.
Basically, he woke up to a bright light from his window, got out of bed and went to the bathroom and realized how terrible he looked.
I just noped at the word phosphorecent.
Thanks to thesaurus.com for providing me with the words found in the paragraph above that made me want to barf out mini dictionaries. Or thesauruses.
