There is such an infinite expanse of emotions that a good writer can stir up, but it's best to not tackle too many at once. I believe most of my stories develop a sense of intrigue as the reader is slowly being informed about the characters and the happenings of the world, but in the end I build up to no more than one or two intense emotions that I want the reader to focus on. But writers need to balance all sorts of emotions in the blogs and articles as well. You really are trying to evoke certain emotions with your words in any piece you create, it's just a matter of being a good enough writer to enliven those emotions and having enough control to guide them along for the ride without losing them.

In your case, it's worth letting you have free reign 'cause you're so freakin' funny. Smooches George Mark,

In your case, it’s worth letting you have free reign ’cause you’re so freakin’ funny.

I spent way too long ignoring my gift of writing but I have recently decided to follow my instinct. I plan to use my gift of the pen to help others who need it most. Your closing will stay with me forever as a reminder "This power is truly a gift. Use it wisely and you will go far. Wield this sword in a haphazard manner, abuse the privilege and you may regret your words." When you describe how writer’s have a power which is a gift you are right on the money.
