The SYNONYM FINDER is a tool, nothing more. Like a good set of dictionaries. But it doesn't provide the inspiration, talent and perseverance required to be an author. That, I'm afraid, is something innate. You either have it or... A pleasure to meet a fellow Queens fan. And do check out Mugison, the opening act (on YouTube ot whatever) because that guy has chops.
