What power exists in a few well chosen words? They can't stop trains or make the sun shine but they can have a tremendous effect on people, taking them to other places, informing them, entertaining them, and at times moving them to action. Writing, contrary to popular belief, is a difficult task that can see things through one set of eyes and communicate it to others in a way that they not only see it but can also feel it. Writing must be accurate but should always be entertaining and above all be good.

Seldom do you get a chance to see what effect writing has but the most rewarding thing is when someone writes you to tell you that your writing did something for them, that it changed how they thought and they saw something in a new light. This is when you know you have done more than set words to paper, it is when you know you have communicated.
