Linda Acorn at a href=”http://justlikethenut.blogspot.com/”Just Like the Nut/a awarded me a href=”http://theshamelesslionswritingcircle.blogspot.com/2007/11/roar-for-powerful-words.html”A Roar For Powerful Words/a. Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoy my writing. And looking at the company you have put me in, I am doubly honored.br /br /The people at a href=”http://theshamelesslionswritingcircle.blogspot.com/”The Shameless Lions Writing Circle/a, originators of the Roar, ask that recipients share three things that make writing powerful and award the Roar to powerful bloggers.br /br /To me, powerful writing contains three H’s:br /br /b1) Humanity/b: The quality of being human, but also the quality of being humane. In my eyes, powerful writing brings the diversity of the human condition to the forefront, rejecting stereotypes and fostering understanding. This doesn’t mean that (in fiction) all of our characters do good or that powerful writing preaches. Just that powerful writing connects us with ourselves, with each other, with the story.br /br /b2) Humility/b: When I think of powerful writing, I think of a href=”http://www.annefrank.com/”The Diary of Anne Frank,/a the speeches of a href=”http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm”Martin Luther King Jr./a, the cadences of a href=”http://books.google.com/books?id=8qzy7K9Z2ckCdq=Alice+Walkerhl=enprev=http://www.google.com/search?q=Alice+Walkerie=utf-8oe=utf-8rls=org.mozilla:en-US:officialclient=firefox-asa=Xoi=printct=resultcd=1cad=author-navigationalpgis=1″Alice Walker/a, the words of a href=”http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Edward_R._Murrow”Edward R. Murrow/a. There is something humble and humbling about each. Powerful writing lacks false pride, it gets to the center of things without having to say “look at me” every few phrases.br /br /b3) Heart/b: As the song goes, “You gotta have heart, miles and miles and miles of heart.” Spirit, spunk, courageousness. In today’s times of stressful lifestyles, fatty fast prescription canada de viagra foods and desserts. On the other hand, don’t send messages once every three months and expect your prospects to care what you have to say – or even remember who you are. order levitra without prescription http://donssite.com/Coconut-Palm-tree-sunrise-Indian-River-Grant-Florida.htm Kamagra became so popular to help men treating the problem at very reasonable price. tadalafil overnight delivery Kamagra basically inhibits the enzyme called phosophodiesterase viagra fast shipping found in the blood vessels are relaxed. I know it when I read it. That phrase or story that gets me right there, where I live, and stays. That’s powerful stuff.br /br /And now my picks to pass on the Roar, powerful writers all:br /br /a href=”http://www.ericaorloff.com/blog/”Erica Orloff/a.
