Blog Introduction


Welcome to my Blog!

The Internet has been around for some time and some people have been blogging for years. Some blog for fun, others for profit. The world-wide-web has so much to offer for entertainment, business, or whatever else you can imagine!

In the past, I have done a fair amount of writing; most of it before the Internet. At present, I am working on reworking articles for electronic media. Much of my writing has been done with pen and paper. Mastering typing and editing on the computer has presented challenges for me. Maybe you can identify with me on these issues?

Electronic Media

I read that by 2015, most reading will be done without paper! If this is the case, adapting to electronic media presents challenges and opportunities for us all. New gadgets and tools for communicating ideas will become increasingly necessary and available.

Insightmedia.info cites these products as the ones that will share in the proliferation of electronic media.

  • Tablets
  • General purpose e-books
  • e-newspapers
  • e-textbooks
  • e-professional reference books

 Learning

Since I am behind the curve at this juncture, I've spent much time studying, reading and now, writing about writing for the Internet. Some of the topics I've been working on are:
  • Improving Writing
  • Poetry Writing
  • Flash Fiction Writing
  • Keyword Search
  • Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
  • Using Adwords Keyword Tool

 Creative Writing

Many creative writers have begun publishing and selling e-books. This presents many opportunities for these writers to gain a larger audience than ever before, thanks to the Internet.

Recently, I have reworked some poems and short stories that I had written at some point in the past. When I wrote them, I never dreamed that I'd be able to post them to the Internet someday. I never dreamed that someone from the other side of the world read them!

I have written some articles, reviews, stories and poetry on Hubpages the past few months. . Check out my Profile, read some Hubs and visit the Community! Maybe even become an author for Hubpages!

    Nice to adapt to different kinds of platform available to promote writing. SEO is definitely one of the thing I need to read on! It seems something important to know and I don't know anything about it!

      Thanks for stopping by and commenting! SEO has to do with choosing search words that others enter into Google, making your post easy to find. It increases your ability to make money through advertising. Good luck and thanks again Jasveena!

Stephen King’s “What Writing Is”

On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft    “What Writing Is” I have written an article in another Blog summarizing several sections in Stephen King's book. This article is about another section of his intriguing book. Stephen King’s “What Writing Is” 4. What Writing Is —pp.103-107 Stephen King suggests: “Telepathy, of course.” Writing is telepathy. Telepathy is defined as “the transmission of information from one person to another without using any of our known sensory channels or physical interaction.” In modern fiction and science fiction, many superheroes and super-villains are endowed with telepathic abilities. The term was coined in 1882 by the classical scholar Frederic W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research, and has remained more popular than the earlier expression thought-transference. (Wikipedia) Writing about telepathy, King suggests that we are “downstream on the time-line”. We are in the here-and-now and as he writes from the past, he

Five of My Top Ten Greatest Novels

Five of My Top Ten Greatest Novels I recently joined a community on Google+ called "The 100 Greatest Novels of All Time". The moderator,   +Brandon Toropov  suggested we post our Top Ten Greatest Novels of All Time List. There are so many great books that I haven't yet read. There are so many authors that I have read that deserve to be mentioned and that I haven't chosen to be on my list (Tolstoy, Twain, James, A. Huxley, Orwell, Austen, Faulkner, J.F. Cooper, Koestler, Conrad, Kipling). Some of the authors whose works I chose had other novels to choose from for my list: Dostoevsky -- “the Bothers Karamazov” and “The Idiot”, Steinbeck -- “Of Mice and Men”, Tolkien -- “The Hobbit”, Hemmingway -- “A Farewell to Arms”, Bronte “Wuthering Heights”. I could go on and on for these authors. The novels I have chosen have altered my views about life or influenced my worldview in some way.
