Are you choosing the right word?

Jean M. Cogdell's avatarJean's Writing

A picture paints a thousand words, but the right words can paint an amazing picture.

In this article, Mr. Kickman explains how important it is to choose the right words to set a scene.

Sometimes I’m too succinct, too quick and too sparse leaving out too many details.

Maybe it’s from writing too many Flash stories. I’m not sure, but I do know how much I enjoy a story when the words pull me into their world.

Read the article at SouthWest Writers and let me know what you think.
