The word “said” is used so often in writing. A great way to make your writing sound dull and elementary is to say “he said” every time you use dialog. Say, “he drawled,” “she mused,” “he exclaimed,” “uttered,” “shouted,” “retorted,” “blubbered,” etc. These lists have helped me so much while writing, so I wanted to share them with you.
