E is for eloquence

Thirty-five minutes left in this day and i'm NOT gonna lapse & miss another one-blog-a-day deadline! Hahahaha....i've had a nice peaceful night full of Tumblr and The Office, brilliant! But the night flew by super fast.....anyways, i digress... :)

Back to today's letter/word, and that is....eloquence. Being a Literature major, i'm particularly fond of seamless articulation and simple eloquence. It is defined as powerful and effective language. Fluent, persuasive, articulate speech.

That hits it on the head right there...."powerful and effective". Because the right word choice can convey the exact image....can portray the exact scenario, and paint a vividly brilliant picture for your reader/audience. So don't use ordinary, commonly-used, everyday words....strive to use unique, precise, articulate words. Marinate on what you want to say...then say it intelligently, and eloquently. :)

  1. I couldn't agree with this statement more! I love words, but I tend to use them very flipantly. What a great reminder that our words should not only be thoughtful but should also be intelligent.
