I keep a "Big Word Dictionary" to expand my vocabulary. Whenever I come across a fancy new word, I write it down. Every now and then I revisit this dictionary and see, if I could insert some of these words into my own writing. One way to hunt down those beautiful new words, as others have pointed out, is to read. Additionally it doesn't hurt to browse the English language and usage stack Exchange. Another great resource is the Merriam Webster Website. They publish a word of the day every day, and usually those are real diamonds.
