I know you've had mornings like this, where you feel like you want to say something important, draw people in with your words and leave them all feeling as though they've just finished reading something important, or at least interesting. I'm doing that now. I want nothing more than to entertain, whether to make somebody laugh, or to make everybody cry, I just don't know.

But the words won't come out. They're stuck, and I don't know how to unstick them. The best writers, no matter what genre, style, or medium, say that the only way to become a better writer is to write, but I'm not sure that's true. I think there's a gift that lets you turn the faucet knob, allows the ideas to flow out onto the page. I'm not sure I have that, but I'm looking.

What's your biggest secret to drawing people in to your writing? What do you use to elicit feelings from your audience? How do you sell your words to the minds of the semi-interested?
