Slice of Writing [Process]

I think I can now say that writing is a hobby of mine.  It feels strange to say it, because my other hobbies, fitness & music, seem much more hobbyish.  Writing is everywhere – in the well constructed missive posted to social media, in the communication to a colleague, in the choice of which emoji to send to say just what you mean, and even in the way you construct a video.  

Still, tThere’s something about words put together, just so, don’t you think? A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a well constructed paragraph can also outkick its coverage.  [I’m not sure I’m using this metaphor correctly.]  

[Let’s try again.]

There’s something about words, put together, in just the right way, right don’t you think? A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a well constructed paragraph essay can move you to tears. [This is maybe true, but this is not at all what I am trying to say.]

[Let’s try again.]

Words on a page.  Words on a page can make a difference.  For instance, I have a Dream, Gettysburg address… [shoot, I don’t have time to do research on the most impactful and inspirational “words on a page”, maybe don’t go the historical route this morning.]

[Let’s try again.]

There’s something about words strung together, like a melody, simple or complex.  Sometimes for social change Words on a page have inspired and conspired to bring great social change.  Words on a page have brought comfort and peace in places of great pain.  Words on a page bring have brought knowledge and growth.  Words on a page.  There’s something about words, put together, just the right way.  A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a well constructed paragraph can change the atmosphere, the heart, even the world.

[It’s not perfect, but yes, that’s it.]
