I am normally happy with the finished product but after clicking the post button, I reread the piece and think of a better way I could have worded it originally. I hate the thought of feeling inferior but it is normal for me in the writing game. I'm never satisfied with the words or phrases I use.ibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966859360295574831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-13018599440778797712009-10-22T11:00:45.801-04:002009-10-22T11:00:45.801-04:00Thanks for the excellent example of the power of a...Thanks for the excellent example of the power of a single word to bring action to a screeching halt.

It will never come to me on the first try most times.<br /><br />The art of fluid writing is my aim. You have given a much needed reminder. Single words form complete opinions.<br /><br />Happy writing!Tamika:https://www.blogger.com/profile/04874834971492028558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-42673086998234951942009-10-22T06:13:12.339-04:002009-10-22T06:13:12.339-04:00single words often stump me.
