Hi Curtis,

I understand that you can’t please all the people all the time. That’s why it pays to study great writers as well as great copywriters — if you can see the image in your “mind’s eye” and it moves you somehow – it has pulled its weight and done its job.

Twain, like Hemingway, was a master of words, but more importantly these authors have the ability to use very simple terminology (lightning bug vs lightning) to give those of us who have a visual bias, a clear picture of the message.

But what about those who have a kinaesthetic or auditory bias? The perfect word(s) for them would be quite different.

Sherice, how much do you consider your audience when crafting a post or story?

Hi Sherice. Oh, the power of words. When sales copy uses too many flashy words, I click away. It feels like they are trying too hard to sell their product or service. Weeding this out is one of the reasons I enjoy editing… and life coaching, for that matter. Choosing the “right” questions and the right words makes all the difference.
