Resources for Novelists and Writers

Here is a consolidated list of some of the major websites that have helped me personally in my writing. I will likely add to this list as time goes on, or perhaps create another post in the future with similar resources. Be sure to comment if there is something you would like to see me include.  

On Story Writing

Many things have been said about story writing. I'm not sure what I thought I could say that no one else has, but I might as well record a snippet of my musings on this subject here.

I will be so bold as to say that I believe that stories define humanity. Stories and dreams are the means by which we obtain new knowledge, new wisdom without ever having to experience an event directly.

And those events and stories don't even have to be true.

And there is the craft of fiction.

Debating on the Internet

Ah, the Internet debate. So prevalent, and yet so universally despised. An excellent topic for discussion. Or debate.

Huzzah. 

But first--a pie chart.

 These data were collected (yes, data is a plural noun) by thirty-seven and a half brilliant urologists from Harvard with the help of the Hubble telescope in an international study.

It must be true.

Nice as the color variety may be, the picture is grim. Unfortunately, this chart depicts the current state  of Internet debates quite well. As an avid lover of both the Internet and debate, I felt moved to do something about it.

So I published this argumentative post on the Internet.

We all have our own ways of contributing.

Graduation

Thought I might as well post this, to mark this moment in my life and crap.

Today I officially graduated. I have my little transcript, diploma, and everything. It's all nice and proper.

Now I ascend to the next level of the perpetual monkey-dance of human social existence. Huzzah!

I should have a bit more time now to devote to this blog.

Government is Watching You

I found this article recently. Educate yourselves, my people.

It is essential these days to learn how to better protect yourself from unwanted government observation. Because it's not like you can fight back if they decide they don't like you or the things you say.

A pity we have come to this.
