A Writer’s Tool

Daily Writing Practice Prompt for Saturday, August 1, 2009: “Write about a tool.”

A writer's tools are the words she uses;
the words placed in sentences and paragraphs;
the words inscribed into lines and stanzas;
the words that describe a lake at sunset;
the words that express similes and metaphors.

A writer uses computers and pens
to put these words into documents,
into blogs,
into journals,
into books,
but the tool itself are the words used by the writer.
