Reviewing IS addictive

Yup,
I've been trying to get myself write nwe entry here since Christmas. Lot of things happened but still I tried to review at least one item a day.
It is my goal I've set for myself just after joning WDC. What I did because of possibility of posting my writing here. However, with my writing going a bit slow or not going at all I've started reviewing. And, my, isn't that addictive?
To be honest I have never reviewied anything at all before. I mean not seriously. I had been giving my opinions& advices to some of my writings friends but it was never something I gave much thought and attention.
But here I had to stop and think what really makes me like or dislike the particular story. I had to do some serious work. In time I see how much my comprehension and even more perception of mechanism of the written word are clearer to me. To be concious of what makes you like story is a very powerfull tool for a writer. it's not easy to spot these things in your own writing. At least not as easy as in the writing of others. As a popular saying goes you never see your own mistakes.
It was so rewarding when I saw I received a merit badge for reviewing. It's so nice.
So I go on reviewing today as I had not fulfilled my today's goal and maybe something inspires me for that short-piece for a competition I'm trying to write.
