'Komorebi' is a Japanese word that doesn't have an English equivalent. It's a descriptive word for the occurrence where sun rays shine through tree leaves and create this sort of glorious curtain over the forest. (I think I first saw it mentioned in an anime, then read it in the book Ikigai).
I also learned the word 'maktub' from The Alchemist and asked a Moroccan friend to explain it. She said it translates to: "It is written" and means that our choices are already set in stone for us. It is then up to us to make the decision whenever they arise.
I love how language-specific words can tell so much about what a culture finds important.

Whenever I write I try to check the dictionary to see if there's a better word for what I want to write. Most of the times, there is. But that's so time consuming that it takes me too much time to complete a paragraph. I've downloaded apps to help me. Sometimes while writing I suddenly think of an imaginary word and then go through the dictionary to check if such a word does exist. 60 percent of the words do exist which muddles me. The rest of the 40 percent is closer to another word that means something completely different.š
Thanks for your help though.

I love the exercise you proposed near the end of this video, taking three words and working them into a paragraph. I used to do that as a daily writing exercise using random words. It's also how my first novel ballooned from a 500 word flash fiction story into a 70K novel :)

Very relevant (hence why I searched it). My writing includes a lot of ridiculously overcomplicated words. My fiance said that, although the story is interesting, the pace was shattered by her seeing so many words she did not understand.
This will be one of my main focuses when writing the 2nd draft.

š This is oddly relaxing to listen to while I learn. Thank you for this diamond of knowledge.

Good topic. Iām Dutch, but I just like writing in English so much more. Improving my vocab is probably a pretty good idea

Anathema - something loathed. I learned it from a book titled "The Words You Should Know to Sound Smart: 1,200 Essential Words Every Sophisticated Person Should Be Able to Use" by Robert W. Bly.

My wife used this Vocab Series in homeschooling our kids. "English From the Roots Up." Latin and Greek root words are used to build many English words. Learn the roots, prefixes and suffixes, and you have the pieces necessary to learn dozens of other words you have not studied.

I learned āFacsimileā today.
A facsimile is an exact copy of something. The word is also used to refer to a system of transmitting and reproducing graphic matter, such as printed text or photos.
// The forged painting was an impressive facsimile of the original.
Example
āWalls are now decorated with posters and murals of facsimiles of old newspapers that tell the tales of the team's big moments.ā ā Carlos Monarrez, The Detroit Free Press, 29 July 2022

Another brilliantly presented roadmap towards that "someday on a shelf " dream of all readers and potential authors. The voice over winds like a silk ribbon, colouring all as it spins and weaves and imparts gems and avoids painful literary surgery later.

you sum it up perfect ... using too many big words knocks people out of the moment. I had someone I tried to tell this too but they kept getting upset because they loved looking up weird and wonderful words. That is great in itself, but I'm all for it, but if your reader has to stop for a dictionary every second word they probably won't read your story.

Diane Callahan - Your videos are beautifully written and edited. Viewing one of them is like watching an entertaining film while receiving a genuine benefit from doing so.

I encountered the word 'equine' a few days ago while reading Ulysses, and I love the way it sounds, as well as the cleft between its elegant phonetic properties, and the somewhat base and, to me, unexpected and random-seeming meaning it actually conveys (that of relating to horses). I think a character's face is described as "equine in length" which is such a fresh way of making the antiquated "why the long face" joke.

Is this free? This is free, right? I havenāt stumbled into Youtube Red by mistake? Because this channel is amazingly valuable; worth at least two semesters worth of a Creative Writing course, probably even more.

I really like the word āergoā it means therefore not really specific but it has a nice tone to it that colors the fantasy settings my writing frequents.

Diane your videos are eye opener and a great inspiration.
