Anyway. All I wanted to say is. I don't know. Sometimes I get so caught up with words, it's funny that I'm not better with them. It's like I want to keep them all for myself. Why would I waste them on other people. I love the world's that words can create.
Anway. I'm having a vey much 'I love the internet' type of moment except 'I love words'. I read 'Robert's Rules of Writing' a few months back and I still think about something he said (at least, I think that's where I read it). Someone was trying to be all look at me and asked him what his adivce was for a poet (or something) who hates words. And I weep for their soul, if it is true. But really, even for having the thought. How could you hate something so wonderful?
A mere word is all it takes to spark a thought. And a whole string of them, well; Northern Lights anyone? The Graveyard Book? Little Women? Pollyanna? The Hunger Games? The Book Theif? Dude, Harry Potter? The Outsiders? Perks of Being a Wallflower? Stargirl? A Little Princess?
Sometimes I'm so amazed at what people can do with words, it takes my breath away.
And that's just the written word.
Until next time,
Katherine
