This might be unpopular but I鈥檓 not going to use simpler vocabulary in my writing if it鈥檚 out of character for the narrator. If my POV character is a botanist, he鈥檚 going to call a plant by its name. If you don鈥檛 know what it is you can either Google it or move on just knowing it鈥檚 a plant of some sort.
I don鈥檛 like this trend of readers being angry that not everything is 100% understandable for them. I want my characters to be believable as people and sometimes people use words people outside of their field will not understand. That鈥檚 not a bad thing.
You don鈥檛 have to understand every word to get the gist of what鈥檚 happening. I鈥檓 not going to slow down an action scene to describe every weapon because someone might not know them by name. They can just assume it鈥檚 a weapon because that makes sense in the context of the scene.

Welcome Sal's Bookblr.
You can all me and masculine/neutral S name and I'll respond. I don't really have a lot of people to talk to about the books I read. Because of that I decided to make a blog and post about the books I read and how I interpret them. I'm queer, autistic, and disabled so that may reflect how I view the books! Feel free to add your own thoughts to my posts.
I'm almost always open to recommendations of any kind, right now I'm trying to read any many books as possible that contain any of the following:
Low fantasy
Jewish lead (not set in WWII)
Catholic lead
Trans (any kind, not strictly binary) lead
Aspec lead
(Best) friends to lovers romance (basically the only romance I can tolerate sorry)
South Asian lead
Reading list:
Zachary Ying and The Dragon Emporor by Xiran Jay Zhao
Splinter by Jasper Hyde
Mercy by Ian Haramaki
Nadia聽by Christine Evans
If You Still Recognize Me聽by Cynthia So
When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore
The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar
Her Name in the Sky by Kelly Quindlen
Funny Boy by Shyam Selvadurai
How to Excavate a Heart by Jake Maia Arlow
Matzo Match by Roz Alexander
