[ Meaning ]

Communicating by the written word is both fabulous and fraught. 

It is fabulous when the meaning of the sentence, chapter, or hundred words, makes an impact or makes one think a little differently.

It is fraught when the meaning of the sentence, chapter, or hundred words, is misinterpreted, badly presented, or just plain incorrect.

With writing, there are nuances, contexts and interpretations that are easily missed.

The spoken word can be a little richer, a little more impactful, and a little more fabulous.  The meaning of a spoken hundred words might be felt a little deeper then when it’s read.
