Words
One of the terms I like for writers is wordsmith. It brings to mind so much more than just typing things out. You are crafting a tale. You take words, forge them in fire, bend them to your will and hone them into a story.
You take something abstract and turn it into something that can lift your spirits or punch you in the gut, sometimes both.
No one person tells the exact same story, with the exact same punch – and the words you choose can make or break the story.
Some words are cliche, but sometimes that’s what’s you want. Sometimes the words are vague, and sometimes, the story isn’t what you think, and you’re telling more about the person telling the story than you are about the characters involved.
Today’s Prompt (in the words of the BeeGees) – It’s only words.
