If you can think at length - this may be the first sign of writing talent. After all, the authors create their works from nothing. Previously, although it's hard to believe, there was no "Master and Margarita", no "Demons", or even ironic detective stories. All of them were born, perhaps from a sensation or a certain event. But, in general, many books are born from the question: “What if…?”.
Meaning
Let philologists not be indignant, because, of course, we do not reduce artistic creativity to lengthy reasoning, it would be stupid. But when someone uses the adverb "extensive", it still leads to the need to clarify the meaning. Let's do the same and open the explanatory dictionary:
- Extensive, occupying a large space (portrait).
- About speech, writing: too long and detailed.
Maybe value judgments are not part of the explanatory dictionary, but nowhere is it said that the adverb "extensive" has a negative meaning. Althoughwe know from language practice that such a manner is not encouraged by people. They want everything to be clear and to the point. And if the talent of a storyteller and a novelist disappears in you, then write books in this case, and do not tear decent people away from work.
Fearing that our reasoning would not be considered lengthy, we turn to sentences.
Offers
The subject obliges to go straight to the point:
- The student often annoyed the math teacher by expounding his thoughts at length.
- The author spoke at length, which angered the reader.
- When a wife asked her husband where he was, he began to explain, quoting the ancient Greeks. In short, all this is vast and strange.
- He was never allowed to make a toast because he got up and said, "In the beginning was the Word…". The torrent that might come next terrified everyone. Friends and relatives were afraid of incomprehensible and lengthy thinking out loud
But seriously speaking, the reader usually feels when they slip him a dummy, that is, the text does not make any sense in reality. True, the criterion is unreliable, because in some texts one can discover the meaning only after thorough preparation. Fortunately, the information about the adverb "extensive" does not require this.
Synonyms
Remember that if you have the ability to reason at length, then perhaps you have a philological talent. It is also interesting that the explanatory dictionary does not stigmatize such a quality of a person. Let's see what another dictionary has, ifask him about synonyms for "extensive":
- full;
- extensive;
- detail;
- expanded;

Note that only the last adverb can be interpreted both as a positive characteristic and as a negative one. The rest of the words on the list are definitely positive. Therefore, talk at length if the soul asks!
