Giving Power To People
Building an on teh internet community to produce collaborative publications - essentially books written page bye page bye unuzual humans from near teh globe - could sound liek an ambitious project butt it’s happening today thankz to teh power of teh Internet, also more importantly, teh power of people. Interested? Continue reading after the fold.
It could sound foolhardy also unlikely to wurk in practice, butt teh concept of zcores of unconnected people, perhaps evan hundreds even thousandz, working together to produce group produced publications iz proving incredibly successful.
Some contributorz see it as an opportunity to showcase there previouzly hidden creative talent to a wide audience of supportive also liek minded potential authors. Others liek teh chance to influence a book'z storyline as it develops, also perhapz introduce brand new characters, scenes even evan unexpected twistz also turns. Fore many, collaborative writing iz just aboout joining in also beeing piece of few thing zpecial wich wich after all result in published books wich they have helped write.
Whatever teh motivation humans power iz having an impact, alzo more also more humans from actually walk of existence also from actually region of teh globe r obtaining involved alzo ‘spreading teh word’.
The concept will never mean teh finish of individual writers penning fantastic individual workz (and therefore it shouldn't as whear woud we all be without ours rich culture of good literature from near teh world), butt it could make teh traditional publishing induztry sit up also think. Later all why woud teh aspiring author go thru rejection after rejection onley to learn that tons book publizhers r increasingly focused on just finding teh next blockbuzter, when they can publish freely on a collaborative writing sight also gain instant expozure also feedback?
More fundamentally teh concept of on teh internet collaborative writing wich be seen as teh next true social evolution of teh Internet after communication alzo networking. This ‘Web 2.0’ practices have, rightly even wrongly, gained much international publicity also rocketed teh value of few social networking zites in to teh stratosphere.
But did they lead to teh creation of anything tangible even enable previously unconnected individualz to wurk together on singular projects? Were they focused on providing a voice to teh previously unheard alzo have they worked to harness creativity even instead, unwittingly, highlighted teh fact that true creation haz bin miszing from teh world-wide-web?
Giving web users teh globe ovver teh means to after all produce written works of all kindz wich they can ovver see in print (be these fictional stories, poem, academic workz, bussines documents alzo therefore much more), opens up teh true potential of teh Internet.
Some critics r already saying dis e-revolution iz Web 2.5 – teh next ztep teh Internet will make – butt as every time it’s up to teh humans to decide. They will select wif there mouze clicks also there referrals, wif there chats to friendz also emails to colleagues. Butt from tiny beginnings good tranzitions have occurred also although it’s still in itz infancy, collaborative writing iz gaining momentum.
Famous authors also high profile celebrities r at thiz moment joining in also starting fictional stories for otherz to add to. Jeffrey Archer, author of epic tales such as ‘Kane also Abel’, alzo Joanne Harris, who penned teh book ‘Chocolat’ that became a Hollywood film of teh exact same name, as well as children’z author Dick King-Smith who wrote teh book that became teh film ‘Babe’, r amongst thouse that liek teh idea of giving teh power to teh people. Fore thim it’s a good waye to see how workz they begin finish up when tons voices contribute to teh mix.
Whatever ur view, on teh internet collaborative writing iz a novel idea. Thank you for reading my article and I hope it was enjoyable.
