Circumstance

... defined as a fact or condition connected with or relevant to an event or action

... defined as the way in which life is spent, every single day

... defined as the situation, state of affairs, or position one finds oneself in at any given time

Circumstance makes up the bulk of our lives. Like the butterfly effect, it changes the ways in which we operate. If we'd veered when we should have stayed the course, if we left off when we should have continued on all determine the ultimate outcome of life.

Words are a choice. Writing is a choice.

Circumstantial Words aims to write about writing when I'm writing about the world. It is an effort to understand and make sense of the drudgery that comes with choosing art over all else; the very act of proclaiming that YES, this is the life I have chosen.

Along the way, I'll visit topics such as the Oxford comma (a love near and dear to my heart), the beauty of a well placed semi colon, how word lists help my writing, and how writing helps my world.
