Here’s a way to celebrate the end of 2012 that can also help your writing: a list of synonyms for “said” on a bookmark that was created for the National Day on Writing 2012.
Print this on card stock, and you’ll be the proud owner of a useful reading and writing tool, courtesy of artist Ginny Millard at www.banyantreestudio.com. Please visit Ginny’s website, and be sure to let her know how much you appreciate having all these fantastic word choices at your fingertips. Now you’ll have extra time to write . . . or to celebrate a little more!
And don’t forget to “bookmark” Change It Up Editing and Writing Services for all your editing and writing needs in 2013. Let me help you say it the way you mean it!

Love this post! Thank you as a writer who struggles for the right words and as a reader who gets very tired of “He said-She said” 🙂
It’s not easy to come up with speech tags that don’t draw attention to themselves, so I was very excited when I saw this bookmark. Thanks for stopping by!
Reblogged this on The Backblogger.
I have had my own home made ‘synonyms for said’ that I have been collecting and adding to for many years – how cool to see this here! (I may just steal a few)
I hope you do, and thanks for stopping by!

Hi Candace!
“What a great and always timely post.” he enthused.
And, thank you again for your wonderful year-end gift to me, a guest-post for my own website. It really is a great, educational and comprehensive article that you sent to me — much more than I had hoped to receive!
Thank you again for your kind-hearted professionalism and Best Wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

“Hmmmm, I was told in a writing workshop and read in a blog, that ‘said’ is very effective and speeds dialogue along. ” She said. “Have you heard or read anything about this?” She asked.
