Collecting words
Roald Dahl kept all sort of notes and lists to help him when he wrote his stories. Words that have the same or very similar meanings are called synonyms.
At the beginning of his career as a writer, Roald Dahl collected lists of words in an old school notebook. ‘When you’re describing something or someone,’ he said, ‘you can’t just choose dull words like beautiful, pretty or nice. You must search for meaty and imaginative words
