In the previous post I’ve opened the game in this blog just looking how to position myself mentally somewhere in the Blogosphere composed by hundreds of millions of active blogs in the world right now. This disquisition is not intended at all to be an “awareness” in the style of the post-industrial revolution era, like the old fable of the little guy who suddenly sees himself as a tiny cog in a huge and diabolical machinery or an insignificant grain of sand occupying unknown and random coordinates somewhere in the desert. The point is, according to the formerly quoted figures and assuming that each active blog in the world has one person in charge for authoring and administration, nearly 3% of humanity own a blog and this idea seems to me just amazing: that 3 of every 100 humans keeps busy at least part of their time managing a blog! If we restrict the demographic universe rationally to the 3.17 billion people having Internet access, the percentage of blog owners doubles: about 6% of Internet users worldwide would hold a blog. Going one step further in the brutal application of sophisticated statistics and rule of three, as in the field of those wild claims that public opinion recklessly blows in the wind, in the style of the sentence “there are 7 women for every man” – we know it is an outrageously false and useless assertion- we could say that would be an average of less than 16 exclusive followers for every existing blog over the face of the Earth.
If I dragged you up here reading these inconclusive statistics, it was precisely due to directly head for the crux of this post: what service this blog will offer immediately to its followers. The first benefit consists in providing you with those statistical figures that can contribute a tremendous charm to whom casually let slip them on a coffee table, impressing with his or her eloquence to the partners present. The second benefit was contributing to your vernacular the term “crux” and you can access to its meaning just through a click on the word in the body of the paragraph and you will be led accordingly to the related link.
Now, restraining my verbosity, I’ll list the offers that can be found in this blog, since the caption in the header announces “Authorship, creations, ideas, news and works by Pablo Perel and some of his friends .”
- Texts, images and videos, just as announced in the site title.
- Digital and paper books, some as a gift and some other for sale at very low prices (the motto is “Everything for $ 2.-“), written just by me or by some of my friends. Narrative, Scripts, Articles, Poetry, Lyrics, Theater plays and much more.
- Many of these books, which can be downloaded from the blog or being taken to a download portal, will be audio-books recorded with the original author’s voices. There are big surprises on the way! I have a set of exquisite writers friends who many of you know and admire.
- For Spanish language screenwriters, playwrights, writers, students, scholars and amateurs, I offer my personal and exclusive service “Doctoring in Plot and Dramatic Structure”, the weakest point and neglected issue in scripts written in Spanish. This is not a course but Custom Consulting and a ton of tips and hints open to the general public.
For now these are the items that can be expected in the short term. I’m sorry to inform to the bank manager of the branch where I have my humble savings account that I will not address any of the issues that the most profitable blogs are dedicated to, advice in stock investments , hot information about gadgets, Apps and Web design and celebrity gossip .
I’ll be waiting for your visits and readings daily, and I hope you’ll find an addictive delight entering the blog every time you can as a habit, and to disseminate these contents among those friends you know they feel attracted by these issues.
Welcome and thank you !
Pablo Perel
