SuperNova Afterglow: End Of Days

Mind you, this was a self-pep talk

Does this sound like sarcasm? Oh, now it does?

Came out of a funny dialogue I had to get myself to read and review when I was too distracted and idling over unnecessary things. I'm learning I have more to write since I've reapplied the reviewing process to my writer's schedule...


Why you should review:

Studies of your brain
(No actual source)
show it is small
(Don't quote me on this)
when it
does not contain
words. How
to get words In that
cranial cavity,
you say?

Read.

But, I don't know many words.

That's why you
read.

But, words can be hard
to understand. Writer's mix
them up in different ways.

I hear you say this,
dear 'aspiring writer.'
To understand words
you read and
evaluate their meaning
in a process I like to call
reviewing.
Reviewing is good for
a brain that needs words --
needs to process them by
writing.

This reviewing and writing
you speak of...
will it be hard on my
brain?

(Now I'm just putting
words in your mouth --
see what I did there?)
It's possibly harmful for
your brain under
certain conditions. You
must take precaution.
Consider reading when
it is quiet,
a place well lit, so
you may ponder the words
of another,
allowing you to write
your feelings about them
in a review.
For instance:

Your story about
a favorite cat that died
made me feel sad...
Your poem about mother
made me very emotional.
You can elaborate
on those thoughts,
if you are advanced
in the ways of
wordsmithery
(Don't look that up).

By reviewing, you discover
new words and new
expressions. Consider it
an adventure for
your brain that needs
words.
The more you do this
it will be like
riding a bike (simile),
because it becomes
easy to do.
And just think (Something
else a brain does),
you will meet other writers
who are readers who
will consider your writing
(review or other) and
give you feedback on your
words.
It's a process
writers go through
to achieving
success -- just by
reviewing.

Fill your brain with
other people's words and
envision a whole new
panorama of critical
thinking that will lead to
better learning and
understanding of
words.
And, you'll have a use
for your empty brain.
Or, just plant some nice
flowers.
