Book Description
“Sometimes, when I drive across the desert in the middle of the night, with no other cars around, I start imagining: What if there were no civilization out there? No cities, no factories, no people? And then I think: No people or factories? Then who made this car? And this highway? And I get so CONFUSED I have to stick my head out the window into the driving rain—unless there’s lightning, because I could get struck on the head by a bolt.” ~ Jack Handy quotes
I am one of those lost children of Open Diary that you speak of, that’s CONFUSED. When I was on the “Open Diary” site, I treated and made entries that were quite naturally “diary” entries and the chronological order of my entries were such of a “diary,” hence the name “Open Diary.” I was completely satisfied with the site and I was a little emotional when they ended their long run. So I stumbled on over here to Prosebox by word of mouth, and they had a claim to fame of writing books and posting them on the site, well at least they ostensibly made claim to such . I thought how kewl is that. One of the options of the site is “Create new prose book.” I’m like how kewl. They describe this apparent option as a “Prose book” option. They describe this option as follows “A prose book is like a blog, diary, or journal. You can create more than one to organize your entries.” I am like wait a minute here, it was said “Create new prose book,” not “Create new blog, diary, or journal.” So this dubious book is really a “blog, diary, or journal” and not a book at all. Why don’t they call it “Create new Prose blog, diary, or journal.” If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, smells like a duck, poops like a duck, its a duck. Suppose I am interested in playing volleyball at some volleyball club. I go to the meeting place to play volleyball and find out they don’t play volleyball at all, they play basketball. Can you imagine the mass confusion in the world if the world behaved and acted like Prosebox? So why is Prosebox pulling the whole bait and switch needlessly? You do a search on the Internet and it comes up that you can create book entries on this site. The very last description of “Create new prose book,” is this “NOTE: This is not a book entry. The description below should be a general description of the types of entries you will write in this book (and is optional).” They contradict them selves ” this is not a BOOK…” …”general description of the types of entries you will write in this BOOK…” Quack! Quack! Quack!
Does anyone know of a free or almost free site where you can actually write book entries online and they actually quack like a duck?
