When it comes to writing, using the perfect word is often half of the battle. So let’s stop using old, tired words and switch them out for some new, exciting ones instead.

Take a cactus, for example. Sure, you could say it’s sharp. But it could also be described as…

Prickly. ⁠
Thorny⁠
Bristly.⁠
Spiny.⁠
Barbed. ⁠
Spiky. ⁠
Cantankerous. ⁠

Though we are professional writers, even we can’t always find the right word. That’s why our favorite writing tool is Power Thesaurus. If you're looking to spice up your vocabulary, we cannot recommend it more. Power Thesaurus (www.powerthesaurus.org) is free and a tool we use almost daily in our copywriting business.
