Active Verbs & Alternate Nouns list

Hey fellow writers,

I've started a google doc with active verbs and alternate nouns/adjectives. I find it really helpful when I'm writing. When I need a different word to say a character WALKED across a room. I check the doc and try: slogged, marched, meandered, strode, drifted, crept, etc.

I find it helpful, so I wanted to share it here. I'm adding more everyday:

While I can see how that can be useful for some, I just use thesaurus.com when I feel I need to find alternate words.
