No. Not literal book rapists.
I mean, the people that think normal, everyday words are banned or something. Come on, people don't talk like big-wigs in everyday conversation.
For example;
Her skullage moved vertically, her auds in taking the sound waves swarming into them. Her orbs tumbled around in her skullage, the cyan horizon florid.
C'mon. I mean, I know you want your story to sound intelligent and descriptive, but when people suddenly need to look up words to know what the hell you are talking about, they lose interest. Instead, write something like this.
Her head swung upward, her ears filling with the sounds around her. Her eyes mulled over her surroundings, the blue sky seeming to glow.
See? It still sounds intelligent, but doesn't bore the hell out of the reader with unneeded complicated word use.
I mean, you can use the higher vocab words little by little, but dumping them all in a single paragraph is boring as hell.
You can be descriptive without viciously raping the thesaurus. Sometimes the more common words can pull the reader in more.
I quick, vague sentence in the beginning can draw in a reader rather than a heavy, descriptive sentence that lays out the entire tale.
HOWEVER, if you use a heavily descriptive sentence, that is MUCH better than in the beginning.
Dammit, getting a tad off topic. Bad Wolfe, bad.
Back to the thesaurus violators.
ANYWAY, it is okay to use a few higher vocabulary words in a sentence, but don't shove the sentence full of them.
It gets annoying, as someone who has read a few stories like that.
NORMAL WORDS STILL EXIST, MY DEAR LOVLIES.
Signing off until the next rant!
