Titanic, humongous, gargantuan, huge, giant, immense, enormous, tremendous, colossal, mountainous and jumbo (lol). Though when describing the surroundings, events and actors, these words are starting to repeat, do you know any more synonyms that would help the text not be so repetetive? Thanks for your replies in advance.
Perhaps you would have better luck looking for different syntaxes with which to describe largeness. Its shape covered half the sky... My uncle, a wedge of muscle and sinew, looked like a child next to it... Its outline was indistinct and hazy, which meant it was far away, and still, the size of it... Lots of ways to skin that particular cat.
Thing is, there are many instances of "it". Warships, ancient creatures, really magnificent environments etc. It is so simple... Why the heck didn't I think of that?
Because we fall in love with certain structures that put blinkers around our eyes and keep us looking for adjective, adjective, adjective... or noun, noun, noun. But there are so many other tools in the descriptive toolbox. Simile, metaphor, analogy, etc.
Thing is, I like those specific types of writing, I am usually using analogies and allegories a lot, especially when I don't want to get directly to describing the action (you know what kind of action I mean), but in this case, it simply slipped my mind, somehow... Silly TOG.
