Word Choice
This trait deals with choosing the right word at the right time to make writing sparkle. Word choice is the difference between writing that paints pictures in the reader’s mind and writing that sits flat on the page. Great writers choose words that are colorful, juicy and precise, without sounding forced. They use strong verbs, adjectives, and figurative language to describe things in a way that is fresh and vivid.
