As a writer watching my son survive college writing classes,
knowing his personality and his wrong language tendencies,
I’ve concluded that, at least sometimes,
we cushion our message in “thesaurus words” because we fear a harsh reaction.
Only a long time writer knows:
no matter how you cushion it,
harsh reactions will spring up.
When creating matters more to me than my ego,
then it improves.
