The right words
Writing is thinking is storytelling is painting a picture
The right words
All I know is what I have words for
“The streets were wet and empty, and the sun had finally come out, making it feel like the world was emerging from a less complicated time.“
The Red Hand Files #321
There’s a curse word in Croatian, “kurčenje”, used to describe someone — usually a guy — who’s full of himself and acts like it.
Kinda like peacocking, but isn’t related to clothes.
I would take me at least one full paragraph to describe it.
Instead, I can use a single word.
I love it when I find words that carry so much weight.
Instead of asking: "Do you have any questions?", ask "What questions do you have?"
The first almost always results in silence, while the second helps people feel comfortable asking questions.
