Words have power from "summary" of Steering the Craft by Ursula K. Le Guin
The power of words lies not only in their ability to convey information or tell a story, but also in their capacity to evoke emotions, shape opinions, and influence behavior. As writers, we must be conscious of the impact our words can have on readers. A single word choice can change the tone of a sentence, the mood of a paragraph, or the message of an entire piece. By carefully selecting and arranging words, we can create a powerful narrative that resonates with readers on a deep level. We can paint vivid images, evoke strong emotions, and provoke thought. Words have the power to transport readers to different worlds, introduce them to new ideas, and challenge their beliefs. However, this power comes with great responsibility. Writers must wield their words with care, considering the implications of every choice they make. Just as words can inspire, they can also hurt, mislead, or manipulate. It is crucial for writers to be mindful of the impact their words can have, both positive and negative.- We must pay attention to the subtleties of language – the connotations, the nuances, the rhythm. Each word we choose contributes to the overall effect of our writing, shaping how it is perceived and received by readers. By honing our craft and mastering the art of language, we can harness the full power of words to create meaningful and impactful stories.
