Words are what we do. Crafting what we want to say into a shape that’s relatable and connective is always the challenge. But remember, the words grow from the camera angle.

Example: If my wife and I got into an argument standing in line at the bank, how I see it is one angle, and how she sees it is the most obvious choice for a second camera angle.

But if there’s no “fruit” there, I automatically go one more step – in this scenario, what does it look like to the bank teller overhearing this? (Or to the other people in line?)

That’s the next step – the third camera angle. If #1 or #2 won’t “click” in your mind, arbitrarily put yourself in a different person’s shoes, and the subject will open up like a flower.

You’ll find, in time, that you’ll develop that inner “tuning fork” that knows when the words are right.
