Words…
They’re the start of the story, literally. Of course, I’m partial because I am a writer. Some people see the world in images, and others see it in words. Put together, we get the technicolor world that we live in. You can’t have one without the other – even though some think otherwise. For instance:
Visualize a red apple:
Or conceptualize the apple in words: The vibrant red and yellow orb took on just a few of the colors of a glowing sunset, as glimmers of water droplets meandered down its sides as though the orb was whispering of its tempting juiciness to capture the lucky winner’s taste buds.
Words can hint, and words can describe, and sometimes words can filter the scene so as to kick start the reader’s mind. They shout, they whisper, and sometimes they cry. They draw one inside so that the world comes alive. We writers come in all styles and forms, and write about everything real, make believe, happy or forlorn.
Listen to us, talk to us, argue with us…we welcome it all, because you might be helping us start our next thought.
