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

The Domino Effect. Try thinking about a minor detail in your life that could have huge implications for a complete stranger. For example, perhaps you lose a dollar, which a homeless person uses to buy a lottery ticket, which wins them millions of dollars. Even the smallest occurrence could have global repercussions. Starting from a detail you take for granted, write a piece that captures the chain reaction that affects everything.

Weekly Writing Tip

Don’t write off anthologies. Pick up this year’s Best American series, or perhaps The O. Henry Prize Stories 2008. The diversity of styles and tones will definitely get you excited about writing, and just might plant the seed of a new book in your head.

Last Week's Writing Prompt

What’s on the refrigerator? Ever visited a friend or loved one’s house and discovered a collage of magnets, post-its, notes, menus and pictures stuck to their fridge door? Think back to the last time, and write a poem or a story that attempts to capture all these unique images, revealing a deeper meaning behind their home on the refrigerator.

Last Week's Writing Tip

No such thing as a stupid question. As a writer, you’re not only observant, but curious as well. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, even ones that may sound a little obvious. You’ll need to understand how people react to all types of questions anyway, if you’re going to write compelling dialogue and interesting characters.
