Let’s appreciate the power of words

Words are powerful. They can win a crowd or turn one against you. They can break a heart or make one fall in love. Words, when cleverly arranged, can persuade and enlighten, can open the bonds of ignorance or further tighten them. Words are also a useful learning tool, for example, in the form of a textbook or manual. A dictionary or thesaurus. They’re entertaining too, a way to pass an afternoon in the form of a novel or magazine. Usually, we are presented with the words of others. Their works and opinions, their thoughts and ideas. But when was the last time you attempted to lay your own words on paper, to express your opinion on a subject you’re interested in? Those are the thoughts I had that lead me to create Pam’s Journal.

About Me

Theres no doubt that writing takes more effort than reading. This is because reading is an activity of consumption and writing is one of creation. Just like watching a film is consumption and making the film is creation. To create you exert more energy, but most would agree it is also more rewarding. You can’t have one without the other, though. Reading will expand your vocabulary, expose you to more ideas and increase your concentration. It will make you more worldly and knowledgable. All of this, I have found, will improve your writing. However, theres only so much you can consume. After a certain point, all that’s left to do is practice for yourself. And that’s the point I’ve reached. I want to write, so to begin, I’ve chosen a topic I’m familiar with: myself! And so begins my dive into the art of journalling.

Thank you to my lovely readers for your support! I encourage you to leave your comments on the posts as I would love to read them.
