The Hunt for Just the Right Word

Which do I prefer writing – fiction or nonfiction? What I prefer is writing – yes, fiction and nonfiction! I love wordcrafting whether it’s creating a story or describing a true event.  It’s the hunt for just the right word, the phrase that lets you see the picture in my head or helps you to understand. It’s putting words together so that my meaning is clear, so that you are enlightened, stirred, or entertained. So that you gasp as the heroine slides towards the cliff. So that the steps to create a recipe make sense. Committee reports, newsletter articles, self-help articles, devotionals, novels – I love writing them all!
