Words Are the Tools of My Trade

Words are the tools of my trade a carpenter choses to use wood with which great things he makes my choice will always be words Just like an artist, a picture I make instead of using paint, just like a bricklayer lays bricks in line I make lines by using only words Words are the tools of my trade an engineer works making an engine each part he adds as he builds it up yet with words I tell how its done words are so powerful in what they convey they cover such a range held back only by our imaginations, that, which inspires our pens to write and to hopefully enthrall the reader

So relate-able! My dad's a carpenter, but it's words all the way for me. One thing I love about writing compared to other hobbies and interests is that it's virtually free... only thoughts and a place to trace them onto is what's necessary! Where the height of your imagination (and not your budget) is the limit. Awesome piece!
