The Power of the Written Word and an Update on my writing

Today I am on Chapter 9 of Geometry of Souls.  I am going to focus on trying to get to Chapter 10 before I have to go back to work Friday at 11pm.  I am quite pleased with how the story is going, even though this is only a rough draft.  Geometry of Souls is sequel to In the Shadows, which I think I shall put out as soon as I have the money for and cover finished.  By that time I'll probably be working on book 3 of the series, Renegade.  Now that I've updated you about my work I'm going to talk about a subject I came up with while walking to work this week.


There is a beauty to words that I don't think people appreciate any more.  Words are a thing of power.  A few choice phrases can bring ruin.  Words are a thing of power and the written word even more so.  It is the written word that has shaped the world, from the history to the beautiful lines of painstakingly chosen words in the world's most beautiful poems and literature. 

Words have the power to transform worlds and thoughts and when written down can convey those thoughts to the reader.  It can carry them into the worlds far away and imaginary in a cerebal experience felt only to the reader.  Words are the colors we writers use to paint our canvas.  And these are not ordinary colors, they are colors that allow us to paint images only the reader can see.  Writers make a painting that allow others to see deep truths and at the same time can allow the reader to experience something special between author and reader.  I believe their is a special bond between writer and reader.  All these are reasons why each line of the story, each word must be chosen not only for brevity but also for it's beauty.

Well that's all I have to say.  I'll type more later.
