COVID causes brain damage.
EVERY bout, no symptoms, mild, severe,
damages our brain.
If you haven’t noticed it,
well…that’s not great.
I HAVE noticed it.
I’ve had COVID
at least twice
and I suffered brain damage
after each bout.
The brain damage
was, thankfully, slight.
My writing ‘voice’ had changed.
My tempo, choice of words,
pace had shifted.
I added a couple steps
to my process after that.
I read a before-COVID-written story
and then the about-to-be-edited story
and I ensure the writing is consistent.
Consider putting processes
in place
to deal with your hopefully slight
after COVID
brain damage
also.
And if you’re saying to yourself
that you don’t need this,
that you won’t or don’t
suffer from brain damage,
then I suspect you REALLY need it.
That’s not a happy realization
but accepting that will help you
to not only cope
but also achieve the success
you want for yourself.
