I don't know why, but that has been rattling around in my head for a few days now.........proof that high school Shakespeare actually does register!
So what's been happening in the word of Aditya Kesarcodi-Watson? Well, quite a lot including a little correspondence with a group of uninteresting, bigoted, killjoy, supposed authors who appear to be down with the latest writing scams.......Yes a group of idiots who seem to think that not only is my idea dumb and a waste of peoples time, but should be considered alongside scams!.....can you believe it?.........there is so much shit on the internet, and in only 3 weeks 30% of the people who have visited my website have placed it in their favorites (that's a lot of people) .......I'm thinking this probably means that people are interested to see how my site progresses and also wanting to read the stories as they develop.
Not only can people get a truly original and creative way to advertise online, but they can participate in the creation of the largest authored story in history.....at the same time being given the opportunity to influence it how they please.........I'm not sure how I'm scamming anybody, as online advertising has been around since the internet started and that's essentially half of what my website offers. I'm not forcing anyone to do anything, and I'm not offering anything I cannot deliver....In fact, I'm putting a creative spin on a regurgitated boring aspect of internet culture.......I'm simply putting a little idea I had into practice while they sit there rotating on their carrots (or broomsticks depending on personal preference).
I understand that some people will not understand my concept....but it is providing a service, and also creating literary history.......Anyway, I stopped writing to them a few days ago and decided to accept that there will be idiots out there, and I'm just going ignore them.....for every one of them, I'm sure there is a handful of more interesting people in the world.
Apart from that. I've been on the radio twice (NZ and Australia) and spoken to a journo in San Francisco (a nice 5am phone call!). There was also mention of a story on a NZ news program. It's still early days yet.........I'm not expecting to become a raving hit in a few weeks......My publicity is probably suffering from the fact that I am dealing with it myself, whilst also doing my research. However, from my web stats I can see that the word is still spreading all around the world. I've still only put one press release out, but the second should come out fairly soon, and that is bound to help my website grow.
Keep watching....as people have said to me in the last few weeks "it's still in the building process and is waiting to launch itself"
