True to the first.

As for the second, thank you! I tend to get that on most of my writing ( I meant that in a humble way?), but I struggle with dialogue. If you have any tips, I’m stuck 2 chapters in on two different books.

So happy that you read this thread in its entirety.

I read it. Its a story of fiction in the rant section.

Actually, it's a warning, fairly easy to understand, of what "common good" can lead to and used to justify.

Not sure how. Forget it man. If you haven't gotten it by now, you wont until someone tells you.

Not at all any thanks needed. You wrote it quite well, and the meaning seemed fairly obvious to me, which proves it to be well written. As for hints about dialogue, which I've always found to be the most challenging thing to write well, one of my creative writing teachers told me to just make a study, when in public (now difficult to do) of listening how people speak to one another, and what they speak to one another about. Keep at it.

I appreciate the tip, seriously.

I’ve been working on a book about an immortal monster hunter who gets a bloodline assistant, whom he needs to set straight about what monsters are, and what they are really about. I got stuck after two chapters, and I’m annoyed that now is the perfect time to write, and I’m not.

Oh, and it’s titled “Vampires don’t sparkle in the sunlight... and other facts about monsters.”

Excellent ThouArtGod!


In here, everybody uses Google & Apple phones to snitcher reporting fellow comrades being infected, all they do is snitch to provide information to police, and well...since everybody are infected it get`s kinda paranoid here ..

Another type of surveillance is also part of the squeeze play. Apple.com has the story (press release, 4/10) [2]: “Across the world, governments and health authorities are working together to find solutions to the COVID-19 pandemic, to protect people… Since COVID-19 can be transmitted through close proximity to affected individuals, public health officials have identified contact tracing as a valuable tool to help contain its spread. A number of leading public health authorities, universities, and NGOs around the world have been doing important work to develop opt-in contact tracing technology.”

“To further this cause, Apple and Google will be launching a comprehensive solution that includes application programming interfaces (APIs) and operating system-level technology to assist in enabling contact tracing. Given the urgent need, the plan is to implement this solution in two steps while maintaining strong protections around user privacy.” “First, in May, both companies will release APIs that enable interoperability between Android and iOS devices using apps from public health authorities. These official apps will be available for users to download via their respective app stores.” “Second, in the coming months, Apple and Google will work to enable a broader Bluetooth-based contact tracing platform by building this functionality into the underlying platforms.

This is a more robust solution than an API and would allow more individuals to participate, if they choose to opt in, as well as enable interaction with a broader ecosystem of apps and government health authorities. Privacy, transparency, and consent are of utmost importance in this effort, and we look forward to building this functionality in consultation with interested stakeholders. We will openly publish information about our work for others to analyze.” “All of us at Apple and Google believe there has never been a more important moment to work together to solve one of the world’s most pressing problems. Through close cooperation and collaboration with developers, governments and public health providers, we hope to harness the power of technology to help countries around the world slow the spread of COVID-19 and accelerate the return of everyday life.”


If you believe citizen privacy is an utmost concern in the minds of Google and Apple, I have condos for sale on the far side of the moon. The tracing tools appear to involve a very rapid expansion of Snitch Culture. What else are “opt-in users” going to communicate about? The weather? Lunch? “Dear Relevant Users and Public Health Officials: Yes, I know Marty. Sad to hear he’s been diagnosed with COVID-19. I did have a brief meeting with him just prior to the lockdown. I suppose I might be infected. I should get tested right away. Let’s see, who else was at the meeting? Marty’s brother, Felix, and Carrie, who is Felix’ on and off girlfriend. Six months ago she was tested for an STD, I don’t know the results—Sandy, the broker at Wilson and Wise was also at the meeting—OMG, that could mean the whole company is infected—and Sandy’s dog Tootsie—can animals spread the virus?—then there was a janitor who came into the room, I think his name is Al. He lives down near the docks. He has a brother who I hear is a drug dealer and a compulsive gambler. He owes money to some nasty people, I think…Anything I can do to stop the spread of the virus, let me know…” Enlist the citizenry to act as spies on each other. A useful tactic. It rips the fabric of social trust. It blows apart privacy. It exposes people to government intervention.
