alittlepsithurism replied to your post: i admire your vocabulary, and understand it’s your style, but have you ever tried writing in a much simpler way? it’s always been my personal opinion that big words may show intelligence, but not creativity. you don’t need big words to express emotion or make others feel emotion. William Faulkner once said about Hemingway, “He has never been known to use a word that might send a reader to a dictionary.” Ernest Hemingway said, “Does he really think big emotions come from big words?”

Don’t change your writing style to please a few readers, if they’re discontent with your vocal ability they aren’t being forced to follow.

Thank you. I wasn’t necessarily planning to “change [my] writing style to please a few readers,” but I was indicating the possibility that it might change slightly, because I’m searching for clarity again, and perhaps my own writing will convey it as well. But I can’t guarantee that I’ll write in Plain English anytime soon. :)
