 One of the challenges many students face when they are trying to secure higher marks in creative writing is they find that They don't necessarily achieve great grades in their creative writing stories Because the teachers tell them that their vocabulary is a little bit limited the range of words that are used is not that great Therefore what I thought would be great is to put together a list of top ten words that you can remember Which when you include this in your writing and your storytelling this will instantly make your story Really amazing. It's gonna make it read much much better The vocabulary is far more ambitious and these words sound quite fancy very beautiful But actually the very very simple and easy to understand. Okay, so as you can see behind me Here's a list of ten words that you can include in your creative writing and indeed to be honest You can also include this in just your general essay writing Which if you do include it will really rapidly increase the quality of your writing your writing will go from being very basic Sentences to actually fairly sophisticated advanced sentences Okay, so let's look at these ten words which you can include and what they mean and examples of how you can use them in Sentences so the first word is gilded which means golden again a word like golden instead of using the golden rays of sunshine You can say the sun's rays gilded something. Okay, they made the painted it almost in a golden sheen Okay, so gilded simply means golden and an example could be the ground was gilded with sunshine rather than the ground is made Golden by sunshine or by suns rays again here as you can see the difference in sentence quality is massive It's completely two opposite extremes the second word which you can use which Instantly makes your writing sound super impressive is torpid which means tired for example I walked in a torpid haze. Okay, you walked in a tired lethargic haze. Okay, so tired lethargic You can use the word torpid instead the third word which can make your writing Especially your creative writing stories sound genius is some Nambulant okay, and I'm going to spell this one for you might not have come across this one So this one is a bit of a rare word, but it's a really fancy rare word that I would heavily encourage using in your writing It's spelled S O M N A M B U L A N T which means sluggish slow Okay, and actually you could say it's fairly similar to torpin not necessarily synonyms, but the fairly similar Okay, so some Nambulant means sluggish and you could also an example of this sentence is the heat made me some Nambulant the some Nambulant heat or the creatures in the forest was some Nambulant They were sluggish they were tired them walking slowly Okay, you can describe them instead as some Nambulant the fourth word which is a fairly nice clever word You can use and it appears several times actually in Lord of the Flies the William Golding love to use this word is Festooned which means decorated for example You could say the walls were festooned were decorated with balloons Okay, again, this is a really fancy word instead of saying decorated Which is a slightly more basic term basic vocabulary try to go for the more ambitious festooned The fifth word which you can use to instantly make your creative writing sound quite genius is bellicose Which means aggressive for instance for example, you can describe the bellicose dog Or my mom was acting in a bellicose manner toward me aggressive Okay, the sixth word you could use is Croposcular which means twilight remember twilight is that weird time in the aft in the evening or really early in the morning When either the Sun is just coming out or the Sun is just setting this is when the sky looks like this mix of Purple amber and it's quite dark, but it's either because the Sun is setting or the Sun is rising Okay, we will call that Croposcular or twilight so instead of saying twilight use the word Croposcular for instance You could describe the Croposcular sky the seventh word you could use is Preternatural which just means unnatural. Okay, so for example, you could say he ran with preternatural speed You send bolt runs with preternatural speed unnatural speed. Okay, or even you could talk about the preternatural Feeling in a haunted house the unnatural feeling for example If you're describing a supernatural character or a supernatural feeling to create some tension now the eighth word You could use to make your creative writing story sound genius is Coruscating coruscating means sparkling so instead of sparkling or even glimmering you could describe or talk about these Coruscating diamonds, okay? Now the ninth word which I would suggest considering is melodious Which means smelly or stinky so it smells for instance You could talk about the melodious smell which really really overpowered you as you entered a tunnel and the 10th and final word Which you could use to make your story sound amazing and even your writing will generally sound amazing is Tremulous, which means trembling for example if you're writing for instance a thriller story where somebody is Trying to put together two wires in order to save their lives or in order to Diffuse a bomb you can describe my tremulous hands clutched the wires as I try to diffuse the bombs Okay, so quickly to recap the fancy 10 words which can make any creative writing story sound amazing are Gilded torpedoes an ambulance for student bellicose Croposcular preternatural coruscating melodious and tremulous Please try your best to use it You know have a go at using all of these right even begin off with just 10 sentences using all of these and The more you use them the more you're going to find that your vocabulary really really becomes more powerful And you're going to see this even reflected in your grades and the performance that you receive from school because your teachers will Be incredibly impressed.
