The writer builds with words, and no builder uses a raw material more slippery and elusive and treacherous. A writer✀s work is a constant struggle to get the right word in the right place, to find that particular word that will convey his meaning exactly, that will persuade the reader or soothe him or startle or amuse him. He never succeeds altogether --- sometimes he feels that he scarcely succeeds at all --- but such success as he has are what make the thing doing.Some words are what we call "colorful". By this we mean that they are calculated to produce a picture or induce an emotion. They are dressy instead of plain, specific instead of general, loud instead of soft. However it should not be supposed that the fancy word is always better. Often it is as well to write “Her heart beat" or "It was hot" in place of "Her heart pounded" or "It was blistering “if that is all it did or all it was. Ages differ in how they like their prose. The nineteenth century liked it rich and smoky. The twentieth has usually preferred it lean and cool. The twentieth century writer is wary of sounding feverish. He tends to pitch it low, to understate it, to throw it away. He knows that if he gets too colorful, the audience is likely to giggle.
