Descriptive words, Tropes of writing
I don't know if you have heard but there exist 36 Dramatic situations in writing which basically every creation falls under, one way or another. Knowing them could help you create ideas and playing with them, mixing them, is basically what all writers do, consciously or unconsciously.
I personally have gotten to know about them on my writing journey and even though it's not essential you learn them by heart or anything, I believe that knowing them would prove beneficial to you as a writer. Below they are listed.
The 36 Dramatic Situations
Supplication—Asking or begging for help. Deliverance—Rescuing or being rescued. Crime Pursued by Vengeance—Seeking revenge for a crime. Vengeance Taken for Kin upon Kin—Revenge within a family or a tight-knit group. Pursuit—In pursuit of or being pursued by. Disaster—A disaster of any magnitude or context (even a bad hair day). Falling Prey to Cruelty or Misfortune—Bad things happening, either intentionally or not. Revolt—Rebelling against anything, in any context.
