But it's a lot more useful (I feel) to look at it from the connection aspect. <br /><br />And thanks!Janice Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356672149097741248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-30203775195992733022021-01-10T13:30:54.308-05:002021-01-10T13:30:54.308-05:00Yeah, guess I'm guilty of limiting the practic...Yeah, guess I'm guilty of limiting the practical definition of emotion to heart-tug type.

And some weeks I go on vacation and it takes me weeks to realizes I missed responding to a whole slew of comments (grin).<br /><br />The emotion vs intellectual draw is overbalanced on the advice side. I think we tend to think of emotions as the heart-tugging type, but curiosity can work as a emotion in these cases, too. <br /><br />Make the reader feel something is probably a better way to look at it. Fear, joy, curiosity, wonder, etc. Janice Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356672149097741248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-66583409579480325032020-12-14T21:55:44.064-05:002020-12-14T21:55:44.064-05:00Great Post, Janet.

It seems like those of us who aim to write about Stuff that encourages thought, often get drowned in the Sea of Emotional Advice.
