Not for me 😔

This work has potential but would benefit from additional development of its theme and main message.

Synopsis

Have you ever wondered what happened before the Big Bang? Astronomers haven’t even considered this before a possibility.

I’ve written a story that imagines the seed of creation, beginning with the origins of energy and how it can be used to establish the outline of your universe. Begin your journey here to gain a new perspective on life.

Looking for a boost of motivation or a splash of inspiration? You might want to grab a copy of The Description of Creation.

This book is different. It’s tagged as a self-improvement type inspirational work that strives to be “short and straight and to the point.” So be aware going in that The Description of Creation isn’t really a "book" in the usual sense. It’s more of an expanded essay or perhaps a journal entry intended to encourage and inspire. It takes readers on a brief and inventive voyage into the creation of the universe. This is used as a springboard into a motivational message about overcoming boredom and harnessing your own creativity and energy to attain your personal goals and build the life you want.

Starting with the premise that in the beginning, NATURE was bored because there was nothing to do and nowhere to go, The Description of Creation posits the idea that this boredom became so intense that “NATURE” decided to do something about it. NATURE broke through the boredom. It released its energy. The result was freedom of motion and a whole new reality that was ready to evolve. This was enough to spawn “CREATION.” (Caps in original.)

The process continued. ENERGY expands and results in a whole new REALITY. In the wake of REALITY, LIGHT comes into the picture. The heat generated by light causes an explosion, and voila! The UNIVERSE is born. (Caps in original.)

Attempting to join two concepts by springboarding off the description of creation into personal application, the author opines that because NATURE created energy out of nothing, “Just imagine what you can do with everything NATURE has provided you.”

Weighing in at just under twenty-five pages, The Description of Creation is a quick read. Sentences are bite-sized and easy to digest. The flow is easy and natural. But there’s not really much to offer here that’s particularly fresh or original. Some readers may consider it pretty thin soup. The main message seems to be: "If you’re bored, don’t fret. Nature was bored, too. And look what happened! 'Nature decided to do something about being bored. It set off a chain reaction that resulted in the creation of the universe! So get up and get busy! Just imagine what you can do with your creativity and energy, too!"

It’s a little tired and a little naïve. It’s also been done before many, many times.

The Description of Creation is a good effort. It would benefit from some additional elbow grease in the developmental department. In its present form, the message comes across as interesting and perhaps motivational, but overly simplistic. Additionally, there’s no real story here. It lacks a clearly defined beginning, middle, and end.

While this book has potential, it has a way to go before it’s a compelling or substantive read.
