Since coming away from the medical world and no longer having to write extremely long and complicated words, I found myself using small, non descriptive words.
I repeated myself and found my writing a little flat. I bought a thesaurus and plodded through it and realised that I was letting my writing down (and myself).
I bought a journal and set a project to follow. I write one word daily and find a partner for it from my book. It might seem a little long winded, but I find it sits in the little space between my ears longer than if I just read it. I can recall it if I visualise me writing it.
I wondered what was on the Internet and Googled the word, thesaurus and found a wonderful site
Thesaurus.com
They give you a word of the day and lots of inspiration and ideas. I did get distracted as they also have daily puzzles to play around with.
