I try and keep my stories and poems simple and easy for the reader to understand. I have a few files of index cards with new words I have found. I have used a few of them in my writings.
Using too many big words, I believe, can throw shade on a story. The author may end up coming off as a pompous know it all. The idea is to tell a good story, not to show how smart he/ she is.
