Oh, For The Love Of...! Turn The Page!

This one below reminds me so much of, well, ME!

Actually,

I'm kind of a slow reader. I absolutely LOVE to read. However, my mind does have a tendency to wander and get distracted by shiny baubles when I'm bored. Then of course, it takes me even longer to read whatever it is I started.

Often, it's an ever-swirling vortex that keeps me reading the same paragraphs, over and over. OR, even the same sentences. :- /

Sometimes:

I can attribute that to it's just so good, like Shakespeare or Poe. I enjoy reading it so much, I just have to give it another go.

Or, usually:

It's just that I want the page turned so badly because I'm so bored! I figure maybe it gets better right?

This post comes after having spent today reading boring, and I mean boring, product reviews, product technical information, and content.

Geez, can some people be MORE dry in their writing technique? I don't think so!

So, whether I'm just falling asleep reading, thus not comprehending it the first time through, or just so uncomfortable I want to leave the page as quickly as possible, I think:

"For The Love Of God, Turn The Page!"

Just My Two Coppers Worth.

There's an old saying, "The person with no time to read is no better off than the person who can't read at all".
I'm not the reader I once was. I have to admit I read almost nothing of what is written on WA... I have it read to me.
I'm on a Mac, I turn on Text-to-Speech and Samantha the virtual voice reads to me. I can control the pace from very fast 'motor-mouth' to slow and sexy. I'm spoiled.

Lol, yes I would say you are. :-D Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day. Cheers.

LOL. Love the photo of the cat and statue. I happen to be a fast reader although (secret) I skip boring parts. :-)

Thanks and thanks for stopping in. Have a great day. Cheers.

Why take 10 words to say something when 1000 will do it better seems to be the mantra of most technical writers......LOL! They must get paid by the word....

I know right. :-) Thanks for stopping by this A.M. Enjoy your day. Cheers.

I can so relate, I have a hard time focusing when reading, my mind goes in a million different places!

1

I know right. It really does help if something in the read can at least hold our attention to begin with. :-) Thanks for stopping in. Enjoy the rest of your night. Cheers.

Thanks, you too!

Hi Jeannie, you sound like me I see shinny sparkly things and go a drift sometimes. I know what you mean about boring, in some research I have done I wonder if anyone really reads it. Its good info but really has no pizzaz. Oh well, thanks for the post! :))

You are more than welcome. Many writers definitely need more skills for keeping things interesting. My eyes glaze over so there goes the focus. :- / Thanks for stopping in. Enjoy the rest of your night. Cheers.

You too!:)

I'm a skim reader, which is BAD. And if it's boring, I tend to skim more. I totally understand, Jeannie! Love the cats!

Hey, if it works for you, cool. I skim now and then too, but don't think of it as a bad thing. It's just more efficient.. :-) Thanks and thanks for stopping in tonight. Have a great one. Cheers.
