I’ve added a new feature to the work on developing my vocabulary. It’s not 100% new, because I used to do something like this before, though abandoned it very quickly. So the thing is making up some aphorisms or short poems by using new words which I take from books. So here is an example:
A fool suffers from learning
He wants to remain himself
His life is constantly burning
While craving for status and wealth.
In this case the new word was “craving” which means an intense desire for something. I think this way of learning new words can solve my problem with endless complaining about the lack of changes in my active vocabulary. While I’m thinking in order to create a sentence from a new word I consider lots of ways and contexts which the new word may be put into, and this makes a strong connections between the word and pictures passed through my mind. Although this takes a plenty of time to spend it for relatively unimportant things, it’ll probably have made my writing more colorful. I know that it’s quite stupid to pursue something like colorfulness rather than focus on certainty, which can be achieved by merely restricting vocabulary, but I still have some prejudges on this account. Sometimes, new words evoke unexpected thoughts, and if there is no place for these thoughts now they always may be preserved for better times—especially if I’m going to waken up my craving for poetry.
Recently, I corrected my poem “To Have Or Not to Have.” It happened two days ago, and now I’m thinking about writing poetry. Is there any connection?
