The love for words, and how they can make or break us.

Native speakers will laugh so hard…
Well, I’ve got a secret for you
Finding the right words isn’t easy
And it’s not enough either
Making your story flow
Making it matter for your audience
Is an Art -- and, believe me…
You can’t fake art
A thesaurus won’t save the day
Neither will a dictionary
A piece of writing is a living and breathing entity
Readers can tell the difference
And they punish the guilty
With their indifference
Or mockery
You see…Anyone can be a storyteller
Or a translator
But not everyone is.
I could have been a doctor
Had I studied and practiced Medicine
But I studied Literature and Languages instead
I bet you wouldn’t let me operate on you
Or would you ?!?
Finding the right expert for the right job
is the only cure
If results are what you’re looking for
She will examine your text or idea
Come up with the most appropriate treatment
Apply her hard-earned skills
Add a sprinkle of magic dust
Voilà!
Let me treat your words with the respect they deserve.Helene Pulacu
