Hey, passion burners!
Seriously it's ages being online... I have been learning a lot about writing and entirely about life. My pet projects are little broken things. I'm understanding fully and deeply sinking into these moments.
Sadly, there is just one pain in the neck. I don't have verbs to give my writing the color I know it deserves. I plead my beautiful writers here... Can someone share a PDF file? Anything... I will take a link to a book download or any reference at all.
Thanks with lots of love, best wishes and success in your endeavors.
Are you asking for verbs, adverbs, or adjectives?
I don't need just verbs... I need assorted verbs that will further exalt art in my writing. Well, anything you know will be of great help... :)

If using Word, Smart Lookup (right-click on the word you want to change to be more descriptive) and click the Define tab, and it gives a whole load of synonyms. I use it all the time so I'm not repetitive when writing my novels.
John Ellis. Thanks, I will check it out.
David E. Gates. Yeah, I do that too. Sometimes, I find my synonym tab quite sparse and clinical. What kind of Word do you use?

Also, if you want to know the meaning or similar meaning ACTION verbs, ( I believe, are what you're looking for...). For use alone or in a phrase with maximum effect, right click on any word and Google search it - you'll get plenty of suggestions. In Word 7, check your search parameters if you're not getting many suggestions, Also you may have to go to the 'root" of the word. And always keep a hard copy of Roget's Thesaurus nearby. These are tools of the trade. It's like being a construction worker without a hammer.
Yeah, W keith Sewell...
