Just The Right Word

I value beauty in the things around me, including really good writing. I aspire towards writing this blog on a regular basis, but tend to shirk it because I don't want to publish anything that is written badly. And good writing requires, not only inspiration, but a lot of work . . . and time.

Here’s a good quote about writing from an email I received last fall from Stephen Caldwell:

"The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter--it's the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning." Mark Twain

Some final advice for my readers: Never turn a cold shoulder to a new word … LOOK IT UP!
