Fancy seeing you here. :D

I’m really glad these were useful to not-just-me, and yes, you are totally welcome to use them all you’d like!

As for your “golden vein,” I have written things that made me cry in the process (and often on the reread later on). And you’re right – they tend to be the most powerful to other people, too. :)

I don’t have any rules for writing so I’m going to borrow these, if you don’t mind. :)
What I have noticed (particularly if I’m preparing a presentation) is that if it makes my eyes tear while I’m writing it, then I’ve found a sort-of “golden vein of truthfulness” that will likely connect with the audience. I will add that I’m not overly sentimental and I don’t ever cry during a delivery –but a little cry or ‘thrill’ is a physiological flag that confirms I’m going in the right direction.
