I've been reading J.K. Rowling's new books from Pottermore. Reading some of them gave me insight into her thoughts about the wizarding world she built. It's beautiful.
And some of that magic came from her playing with words, whether its to combine two foreign words into one (how she came up with Azkaban) is ingenious. It's really inspired me to start playing with words.
So, if you don't want to be a writer, stop playing with them. Don't stretch outside of your limited knowledge of what words can do for your stories.
