Wordclay’s “The Interrogation” Reviewed: Wordbot Gives New Video Thumbs Up

April 29, 2008

Greetings, Earthlings,

Wordbot says... Fresh off the Wordclay video feed, yet another movie comes to curious readers and film connoisseurs. This one, entitled The Interrogation: Is Wordclay Self Publishing Really Free? will likely give you goose bumps and curdle your blood. Lucky for this robot, I don’t have skin, nor blood, so I was able to watch relatively unharmed. There was a small short in my logic circuit due to the intense pressure, but nothing my publishing technicians couldn’t fix.

Reminiscent of Saw IV and Severence, with a dark, warm-hearted twist not unlike that of Will Smith’s Hancock, the publishing blurb on the back of this movie should read:

Driven to the brink of insanity, a man takes a Wordclay employee hostage to find out the truth about Wordclay’s free self-publishing service. The interrogator heard claims that Wordclay helps writers create and publish books for free. But he’s sure there’s a catch to Wordclay’s free online program, and he’s determined to find out the truth once and for all. A dark, humorous twist on the idea that “nothing is ever free.”

And here it is for your viewing pleausre. Watch if you dare!

If you’re reading this now, you must have survived! The Wordclay Team and I hope you enjoy this film noir bent on self-publishing, and we encourage you to post a comment. Review this publishing video or suggest one for Wordclay’s next – whatever you’d like. After all, as the man said, “We’re not out to get you.”

Wordbot upload complete. Transmission ended.

Weekly Writing Prompt

There is usually a road map in the mind of a writer with a direction in which way the story will go. Visualize your map — the starting point, where you are now, and where you would like the story to end. Take that map — your story — and write a synopsis for your back cover. It will be interesting and insightful to see if your road was steady or if creativity took a detour. (11/5/09)

Weekly Writing Tip

Every story begins with a byline — an idea — whether it is a well thought out set of events or a single sentence. Once you have your main idea, just start writing. Don’t try to concept your thoughts before you begin to write or you will lose spontaneity and fresh creativity. Just act, halt the rationalizations, and let the words write your story. (11/5/09)

Last Week’s Writing Prompt

Oh, the days of Hemingway and Steinbeck … it was a time when descriptive elements blurred the lines of “proper” sentence and paragraph structure. The masters of a craft engaged readers and transported them to another setting, allowing readers to feel their new surroundings through long-winded details. Begin writing from where you have last ended on your current piece. Pay no mind to periods at the end of a sentence or paragraph breaks. Just keep writing. At the end of your writing session, go back and highlight powerful points, and take note of where you have allowed your writing to go. (10/29/09)

Last Week’s Writing Tip

Practice self-editing. Write and then edit. Edit and Edit and then write. Understand that by doing so, you are gaining a feel for your own writing style and developing a skill that will help to create fluency to your work. It is about understanding your boundaries and overcoming them — enhancing your technique as well as increasing your writing output. So, edit for grammatical corrections but, equally as important, edit to understand your writing. (10/29/09)
