EACH OF THESE WORDS HAS A SPECIFIC MEANING AND SHOULD ONLY BE USED WHEN NEEDED

DON’T USE THESE FOR DIALOGUE TAGS

NNGOD I REMEMBER THIS FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL.

what PK said is not only right, but accepted by professional writers who write books and give lectures on this shit. (according to mom)

all these words will pop out and interrupt the flow of the writing. said is invisible.

AUUURHG THE ONE WRITING RULE I WISH I COULD JUST OBLITERATE
it is totally okay to just use ‘said’ over and over, in fact it’s usually a testament to the actual writing. if you’re not flowering it up with a million different words you are left simply with the characterisation and the events, and that’s what your reader is interested in anyway

flowery words just obfuscate that point and trip them up 

use these words for specific referential narration but seriously DO NOT EVER FEEL OBLIGATED TO USE THESE ATTACHED TO DIALOGUE TAGS

This list is missing my favourite: “EJACULATED”, which used to make my 18/19th ct brit lit class a riot because it’s everywhere in the works of Austen, Eliot and others. But seriously, don’t use them in dialogue tags, they’re super distracting.

girlwithapumpkintattoo: But then I wanted more time so we could fall in love. I got my wish, I suppose. I left my scar. […] What else? She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers. — The Fault In Our Stars
