Got my internet back today so I'm putting up several posts on my blog. There's a lengthy story on Stephen King and his compulsion to write on there, more writing advice, photographs and I'm still grabbing the current events from science and writing. With that said, there's plenty of new material going up as we speak.
Will be a bit slower coming the next couple days since my Internet won't come back on until at least Sunday afternoon-from a storm Wednesday night. Gee, thanks Comcast. However, I have reblogged a couple posts from Kristen Nelson, a literary agent, that are interesting for writers seeking to be published. There's also a couple installments of my serialized novel on the site and several other items.
Will be a bit slower since Comcast won't send anyone out to check on our Neighborhood before 1-3pm SUNDAY. But I've got new stuff up there right now. Thank Goodness for Starbucks!
I've had to come to Starbucks to have internet. My internet and cable's been out for nearly 24 hrs after a storm and they claim there's no outage in my neighborhood. Ok...explain why my neighbor and I both are out of net? Certainly makes it hard to blog and do anything internet related without it. Means I've had to go into work to do things I could do from home. Thank you, Comcast. You suck.
The past few days have given me plenty of things to muse about and I've taken advantage of it. As a writer, I can see why dystopian futures are so popular right now. Too many things happening that aren't very good. I've taken time to review the Anime "Kamfer" and place another small segment of my serialized novel onto my blog. Hopefully there are some informative posts there.
Cover the gambit from local news events through to another couple pages of my serialized novel. In between are lists of the daily top 10 sci fi books on B&N and the top 20 on Amazon. Today's hot topics from science daily are also posted. More Hubble pics are up and there are two different posts I have on writing subjects. http://taliasworld.wordpress.com
The past couple days, I've posted a lot of different ramblings, opinions on writing, life and current events in science. After taking a poll of my followers, I've started a novel strictly for serialization on my blog. First part of chapter 1 is up on today's posts. Several posts I see on this forum or others are covered in depth on my blog too. http://taliasworld.wordpress.com
I got to thinking about the subject of writing about them and ended up making a lengthy blog post about it. Having taken business law, which covers tort (most civil cases are torts, but there are some that aren't) acts, I've got a basic understanding of public figures and the rules applying to slander/defamation. So, to help clarify a bit, I posted the legal definition of both inside the post for people to see. With that said, however, do not assume that pure definition is everything there is to civil law on the subject. How it applies, and other issues are covered and I challenge the reader to think it over closely before choosing whether or not to use real figures in your writing. http://taliasworld.wordpress.com
