Dear Legal Writer, Here’s something I use every day to make my writing better—

In fact, it’s my No. 1 tool.

(And it’s not some fancy, new AI program; I’ve been using this same tool for decades.)

⬇️

It is . . . a thesaurus.

Remember Roget?

Well, now you can find his thesaurus online, and although I’m sure Roget’s is fine, I like the one by an outfit called “OneLook.”

It helps me enhance precision.
It helps me avoid repetition.
And it makes my writing more lively.

Might you start using a thesaurus to improve your own writing?

Why not give OneLook a try today?

💌 Amanda

P.S. You’ll especially like the phrase-to-word converter (e.g., “ran quickly” —> “sped,” “raced”).

That’ll help you save your word count, too.
