The Words We Use

short words

To write well, we must make use of all our words. Words are stones that build our thoughts. Each one must be put in place, at the right time. Brick by brick, we build the wall to make a work of art.

Choose your words with great care. Each word is linked in a chain that flows from point to point. It must be smooth from one line to the next. Short words give strength to your work; the words are clear and make it a joy to read.

Try to use short words in your work. It is a good way to write with more skill. All my words have been one syllable (except this one). Short words will help you write in a clear and smooth way. Try it; it is well worth it.
