One has to be very particular about how to use adjectives and be careful they’re not abused for writing creative or seemingly poetic descriptions. Push adjectives into the wrong situation and they can stop meaning anything of real consequence. They’ll just confound people if you don’t pair them up with their familiar nouns.
“Dastardly Chopstick.” Cool, but weird for the sake of being weird.
This is an important note to remember for many of the more uncommon adjectives, such as crepuscular. Certain adjectives like that one only fit deservingly with a very select group of nouns. You can’t just throw the word crepuscular around for this or that.
For example, there are just four things to which you should properly ascribe the word runny: make-up, oil paint, snot, and cheese. If you say “runny fingerfoods,” you’re really only narrowing down the edible possibilities by half or less, providing your readers aren’t under five years old.
You see, adjectives shouldn’t be treated like sprinkles for textual ice cream. If you glob them on like a thick crust of multi-colored crunchies, the more impressionable readers eat it up and get sick.
