while i find verbal variety in writing important, i’m not sure i like the implications of this list. don’t you find it annoying when a writer goes out of their way for the sole reason of not repeating the word ‘said’? i was taught not to do this in my undergraduate creative writing course.

when there is an obvious difference (i.e. ‘yelled’ and ‘whispered’ convey different meanings than ‘said’) it makes sense, but if a writer willfully alternates between synonyms with little additional value (e.g. ‘retorted’, ‘conceded’, ‘noted’, ‘went on’ - although this depends mostly on context) for no other reason than not wanting to re-use ‘said’, it could start to distract and even irritate.

obviously, this is a relatively minimalist approach which not everyone might agree with, but aspiring writers shouldn’t think the word ‘said’ is to be avoided. it’s not. it’s a great word. it conveys its meaning perfectly without unnecessarily diverting the reader’s attention from the narrative.
