"Words were originally magic, and the word retains much of its old magical power even today".
~ Sigmund Freud

“Of all the magic words in existence, words of kindness create the greatest transformation spells.”
~ Richelle E. Goodrich

Letter from the editor

Words aren't just a group of letters strung together. They hold power and can quickly get our emotions swinging; everything from fury to uncontrollable laughter - and everything in between.

*Bookmarkr* Words that raise curiosity:
secret
forbidden
cover-up
covert
controversial
off-the-record


*BookmarkR* Words to evoke confusion, helplessness:
doubtful
uncertain
disillusioned
tense
vulnerable
overwhelmed
doomed
incompetent
distraught


*BookmarkR* Words that may arouse anger:
ordeal

tragic
aggravate
deplorable
corrupting
inconsiderate
harsh
harmful


*Bookmarkr* Words to create anxiety:
excitement
eager
worry
nervous
concern


Have fun playing with words and trying new words to see what emotions you can draw out of your readers!
