IMPROMPTU PROMPTED BLOGGERISH

Some Things I've Read, Haven't Come True.

Good writing is saying something.  Good reading is understanding something.  A writer can explain anything they wish to the world.  They can explain their loneliness, their goals, their fear and their dread.  Their hopes, their passions and their pains - pains of body heart and mind.  No person needs to read it; the world is always listening.  Sometimes a person does read it.  If they are a good reader they can take a lot away from it.  They can learn more about their own emotions.  It can teach them to look for reasons.  It can help them to draw their own conclusions.  Writing is cathartic for both the good reader and the good writer.  Some writing is not good - meaningless empty stories.  Some people are not good readers - it seems they just can't comprehend.  A funny thing though.  A good reader can easily gain something from reading good writing; an excellent reader can often gain a lot from poor writing.  Reading between the lines and stimulating your own imagination can lead to finding magical stories, hidden in the pages of drearydom.

(I don't think this has much to do with the prompt, but this is what it prompted me to say.)

I thought the first giant step for man was fantastic.  I'm just sorry that mankind has been so slow to follow in his steps.  In 1969  I assumed I would have lunch somewhere on one of Jupiters moons before I die.  I have pretty much given up hope.
