An awesome article about how the brain responds to vivid detail and description, specifically in fiction works.

J.K. Rowling’s New Book (by nerdquirks)
Here’s a little discussion video about J.K Rowling’s new book! I’m sorry I’m a day late on uploading this, Driver’s Ed, Daylight Savings, and a whole lot of homework have me a little behind!
If you don’t have a YouTube account to comment on, feel free to comment below! What do you think about the new book?
Will you write the next classic?
Will your book, with your name, be added to this monument of the very best?
Today I was reprimanded by a mall cop…
For reading on the floor of the mall.
I was just minding my own business reading on the floor outside of Game Stop while my brother was shopping.
It’s not like I was in the middle of the floor. I was all the way to the side, totally out of the way.
But the ever so charming officer at the mall didn’t seem too pleased with this.
So I rolled my eyes (admittedly rather sassily) and I read standing up.
J-K’s BACK, ALL RIGHT!
that was meant to be sung to the same tune as “Backstreet’s back all right!”
geddit?
like it was a reference to the Backstreet Boys
never mind I’m just a loser
Oh and also, some unexciting, unimportant news, just the usual…
JK ROWLING IS WRITING ANOTHER BOOK.
HELP.
WHAT DO I DO?
BREATHE?
DRINK TEA?
SING ATOP A MOUNTAIN?
SCREAM?
CRY?
SKIP DOWN THE STREET?
OPEN ALL THE MAILBOXES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD?
THROW CONFETTI?
ANNOUNCE IT TO EVERYONE IN THE VICINITY WITH A MEGAPHONE?
HACK INTO ALL THE ROUTERS IN MY TOWN AND ALERT THEM OF THIS INCREDIBLE NEWS VIA THEIR COMPUTERS?
SHOULD I BUY AN ELEPHANT?
OR PLANT A TREE?
CHANGE ALL THE VOICEMAIL MESSAGES IN THE WORLD TO “I’M SORRY THIS PERSON CANNOT COME TO THE PHONE BECAUSE JK ROWLING IS WRITING A BOOK AND THEY ARE TOO OVERCOME WITH EMOTION TO TALK TO YOU RIGHT NOW”
WHAT DO I DO?
Are you guys as excited as I am?
