THE EFFECTS OF WORDING
Words play an important part in life. Long before we write our first poem, story or essay we learn the effects that words can have on us.
Babies and toddlers respond to the tone of our words. A child recognizes early on the effects of words. Whether it's terms of endearments or from being disciplined, or insults from a childhood bully words can evoke feelings.
With writing, our word choices are detrimental to expressing what we want our readers to "get". I think word choices play an important part in any writing that one does, but especially in the drama genre. The right words can help a writer to get their feelings, points, thoughts and judgments across. They can can be used to engage the audiences’ attention and understanding.
On the flip side of that, words can be misleading and confusing; our word choices can be effective or ineffective. Your readers may interpret the words you use on the basis of feelings different from your own, you need to be clear and concise with your words. If a writer has doubts, it never hurts to include a brief author's note with a definition of a word. Avoid unnecessary words, nothing weakens writing more than wordiness. Make every word carries its weight.

Submitted Comment:
Tammy,
I just finished reading your newsletter on narrative poetry and I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it.
I guess the poetry I have written fits in this category more than any other. My poetry mostly always tells a story in narrative although not always in rhyme.
Thanks for a great newsletter.
Mothermouse
Thank you!
