Pamela Tracy here. Lately I've been thinking about the power of words. It started with a video I watched at work.
It seems so simple, yet no other passerby thought of it.
Words are my world. I write in the morning, I teach English by day, and if I get a little extra time at night, like steel to a magnet, I'm wanting a book to read.
We authors deal with really only five plots.
Man vrs Man
Man vrs Self
Man vrs Nature
Man vrs Society
Man Vrs Machine
We take what's already been done and try to do it better? differently? No, we do it in our own unique way. That, my friend, is called voice.

Thank you, Maryrose. Glad you stopped by.
Very interesting take on this. I never thought of it that way.
Rachel,
The video really made me think about how we approach words.
Sheila,
Glad you liked it.
Jackie,
I'd never have found the courage to change his sign, not without asking.
Loved the Video!
J.
Really makes you think, huh?
Oh wow what a difference a few words make. that is soooooooooooooooo powerful.
Jenny,
I knew you'd get it.
Lady,
There's another breakdown of seven plots, but I can't remember them.
Perspective is, indeed, everything.
