On the one hand it’s a science, on the other it’s an art: that is, the skill of putting words on paper, on a screen, or even on the side of a milk carton for that matter.
Anywhere that the written word is poised to reach an audience, a certain energy is required of that word to ensure its safe landing in an appropriate environment - the right word for any given situation.
Words have interminable energy - just how energy forms in relation to a word is in direct relationship to the desired context for that word – the science versus the art. This is where skill comes into play.
