A Yearning

I want to put power in my words. I want to make my readers cry, make them laugh, make them feel like the characters feel. The music I listen to when I write, which I often try to make match the emotions of the characters, often has such power in the lyrics, in the singer’s voice, and yet…so often I cannot transfer that feeling through my fingers onto the keys and into words. How can I touch my readers? I want to do this so badly…I want to put power in my words. November is National Novel Writing Month. Why is it that this month, of all months, I have been writing hardly anything good?
