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

Think of your favorite book or story. Dig deep and evaluate the details of this story. Then, write a first-person narrative from the view point of a minor character. (8/27/10)

Weekly Writing Tip

The words “since” and “because” are often grammatically interchanged. Each preposition holds its own written purpose, and the swapping usually ends with incorrect language. “Since” is a preposition of time that indicates the beginning point of an action. The action can either be continuous or one that has happened at a point of time within the period. She’s been traveling to Florence every summer since 1985. “Because” is used to introduce the idea of cause or reason for an action. She shared her sandwich because she couldn’t eat it all. (8/27/10)

Last Week’s Writing Prompt

A picture is worth a thousand words…as well as ignites our curiosity, imagination and inspiration. Open a magazine or a newspaper and browse for three interesting characters. Write a 500 word profile detailing who this person/character is. (8/20/10)

Last Week’s Writing Tip

Some writers, when faced with the necessity of presenting an idea that involves negation, simply insert the adverb "not" into a positive sentence. Inserting a "not" is the least graceful method of expressing a negative and should only be used as a last resort. "Not" is an enemy of clear expression. A small word, it can easily be overlooked by a hasty reader, with more or less disastrous consequences. The English language contains a vast repertoire of words that express absence, lack, or negation directly, so that "not" need only be used when a direct, graceful alternative is unavailable (as opposed to "not available").
