I found I got some pretty clear writing by starting considering the thousand most common words free for use and carefully considering before adding an additional word as available for use. In part, it stopped me from talking about one thing with several different words, because I would need to consider whether I had added the word to the allowed list, and would find that I could use words already added to the list. I think the idea actually has some merit, if you start there, introduce words carefully, and define introduced words from only introduced words and the otherwise free words (or just add a standard English word where it really carries its weight). Takes time. Obviously, I didn't do it for this comment, and it shows!
