Wordsmiths and their Words

Usually, when I find something I like or believe will be helpful, I share the link with you. This time I've included it below in it's full form as it is a Note on Facebook and if you aren't friends with the writer you wouldn't be able to see it. It's an entry in an exercise called Slice of Life, a challenge to write a short piece about your life each day for a month.

We're writers, we work with words, but how often do we stop to think about how simple yet very complicated our tools are? That's what Vinnie Sorce did with his words through his slice of life for today. What are you doing with your words?

Good Writing & God Bless,

Words are interesting. Those particular words were used in the Facebook scrabble game I’m currently playing with Sharon.

It’s amazing how they can be strung together to form thoughts and dreams or tell of terrible tragedies.

They can be written or spoken, they can change lives in a heartbeat.

They can be reassuring and comforting or they can be hurtful and full of pain.

They can be in hundreds of different languages and dialects.

And yet somehow, with all that at our disposal, we still have trouble communicating.

Imagine that.
