All the writing advice in the world can't replace good tools and lots of practice. This is why I've compiled the following list of over a thousand action verbs. I needed a handy, printable reference tool that didn’t strain my eyes or my wrists. Try it for yourself sometime. It works. For "walked" or "ran" ...
lumbered
plodded
scurried
sidled
slinked/slunk
To read the remaining 1000, please link to this great resource.... http://www.deannacarlyle.com/articles/verb.html

Love this site!!
Great site, thanks.
I heard Randy Ingermanson speak at an ACFW conference once and he mentioned the inherent gender connotations in the way a character walked... (You probably don't want your hero to "sashay" around the room.)

Hahaha, Hilarey! Definitely would give your male character some character. :)
