Join Ann White and Kimberly Burnham as they talk about the magic of words.

Are your words magical. There is a quote from science fiction writer, Arthur C Clarke, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Do you use sensory words that create an image and a feeling?

 Learn about Sigils and other letter arrangements. Does letter arrangement matter?

 Are your words healing? What are you saying as every cell in your body listens?

 What is your name? Is there power in your name? What is the title of your book? Is there power in the words of the title?

 Conscious use of words and the subconscious affects of words.

Do You Compliment or Complement Your Friends and Other Grammar Gremlins on The Writer's Tool Box May 19, 2014

Which witch do you choose? Which witch did you chose yesterday? Do you practice complimentary medicine or complementary medicine? Which has the greater effect on health or changing affect? Join us for Grammar Gremlins on the Writer's Tool Box.

Do you "hear" correct grammar? Do you want to publish your book with Ann and me or with Ann and I?

When I lived in Japan and taught English some students would say to me, "You can't really hear the difference between bat and vat, can you? You can just tell which is correct from the context, right?

No, I would assure them I can hear the difference between bat and vat. What are you used to hearing? What sounds correct to you? How does the grammar a speaker or writer uses affect your desire to listen to them?
