Words

I love the sound, the feel of them as they roll off my tongue. I love plays on words, but wince when used incorrectly.

Mother taught me to love words. A beautiful writer, she encouraged my sister and me to express ourselves well. When we copied the speech of aunts who said “boirl” and “oirl” she corrected us and told us we knew better because SHE had taught us better.

Writing is powerful. An expression of pent up fears, emotions, loves, and hates, I grow each time I tap out letters on my keyboard. Writing? It’s the ME of me.

In honor of NANOWRIMO (National Novel Writers Month) a 31 day period of time when folks drop all to write a complete novel – Velvet Verbosity gave us the option to write whatever we wanted about WRITING, staying within the 100 Words guideline of100 words: no more, no less. The above is my take on the theme. What 100 words expresses YOUR take on writing?

Yes. All of this. Can I blow this up and put it on my bedroom wall?

Wait, did we have the same mother and I’m only just now realizing it? Every time I pronounced a word wrong she would stop, look at me, and say, “Velvet, how do you spell that word?”
