Gem Cutter

I'm trying to polish my phrases

I want all my words to shine

I need to make them all matter

A jewel found in every line

  7. Words for a writer to live by! Short, sweet, and oh, so true. I may have to post that on my laptop.

    Lisa, there's no greater praise for my words than for them to be repeated.
