CyberDayze

CyberDayze 


I blogged this not too long ago:


"CyberDayze 


Someone in Twitter called me 'A Pioneer'. 


She is spot on. 


Because.

There IS no genre for the likes of my book πŸ“š CyberDayze.


I aim to change that.

🎲 


CyberDayze.com"


And I got this reply to that post:


"Uniqueness  is a definite plus when  it comes to arts and literature. You  have indeed carved out a unique style.


And now it's time to follow it up with your next project. You don't want to be remembered as Gina the one-hit wonder.


GET WRITING BOOK 2!"


To which I answered:


"Thank you πŸ™for your comment that I have a unique style. That-I do. I call 'Them' 'The Words'. 


And. I have started CyberDayze: My Second Life."


Today I got a negative report from someone who was reading CyberDayze to review it, in exchange for her book to be read and reviewed. She said she didn't understand it and that she had never had to return a book unfinished before. She said she had high hopes for CyberDayze and was really disappointed.🚫


What's that old saying-Bad publicity is good publicity? ❓❓


Yep. I think that's what it is, alright. ‼️


So. 

I am going to copy & paste her comment and then...blog about it.♨️


Yepper. That's what I'm gonna do. And. That's the right thing to do, I'd say.✏️


And don't I also always say:


CyberDayze.

Read it if you dare.

CyberDayze.com


Yepper. 

I most certainly do.


[smiles]"


So.

Here's that poor 🎴woman's comment about CyberDayze:


"I love everything about the internet and I had high hopes for this book. Sadly, it is the very first one here at OBC that I have to return in defeat. It is written in a very disjointed, weird style with a narrative I simply can't follow. I reached chapter 10, after which I stopped. I don't understand who Robert is, and I am confused as who her father is that she will end up marrying? I understand that the writer was depressed back in the day, but I am no psychologist, so I am unable to figure out what she is trying to say through her book.


Also, the pdf has two pages (columns) on one page which makes it very awkward to read both sides on my tiny iPad since I constantly have to slide my fingers from the left side of the page to the right side.


Overall, a negative experience which I don't want to continue."


 ******

I can only feel empathy for this woman's inability to understand 🚱CyberDayze. I recognized from the onset that it would take an intelligent and educated πŸ“šindividual to Get It. She apparently does not 🚯possess those attributes. I am not being mean; rather it's merely just a true proclamation.

As Kenneth said in his awesome Amazon Reader Review: "If you're looking for black and white and self-help prescriptions, you'll have to go elsewhere."


And he prefaced that grand review with this:


"An important work - get off the www for the time it takes you to read it!"


He is absolutely, spot on correct with that ascertation.

Gracias!


But.

Do you want to know ☝️ the ironic thing about this? 🚧


The name I have given of that new genre for the likes of CyberDayze is this:


Social Network Psychology.


She figured out πŸ‘the premise of the story-and doesn't even know it. πŸ‡¦πŸ‡±⚖️


Fancy that.

☑️


I rest my case about those empathetic feelings.

🎰


CyberDayze.

Read it if you dare.

CyberDayze

CyberDayze 


As you all may know already, I have started a new CyberDayze Facebook Group named, aptly, CyberDayze. 🎢 If I haven't 🀷♀️already added you, here's the link. Come visit me.😊 I can post lots of music 🎡 there, unlike my Facebook Pages. Yayyy!!!

Lol 


https://m.facebook.com/groups/1941447572845838


At any rate, I have been busybusybusy ☝️ adding friends and yesterday I came across a friend named Amad Elbez. Now, in my original, now deleted, Facebook account, Amad and I used to message each other frequently. He lived in Egypt πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¬ and was an avid musician πŸ‘¨πŸŽ€ in my genre of music. 🎢 He suffered great pressure from his family, because of his chosen lifestyle. And. He lived with his parents. He also was chastised for abandoning his religion. He talked in length with me about his life and what it was like to live in Egypt. πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¬ 


And he was intrinsically interested in what my life in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ was like. And was extremely envious of the many many concerts that I have attended. Because, you see, artists in our genre of music 🎢 don't tour in Egypt . πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¬ So. Amad had never had the opportunity to see any of his favorite artists perform live.


And then  one ☝️ day I saw this post from Amad in newsfeed:


"Never again"


He posted that going on, πŸ˜’ hmm, eight years now. And, checking his timeline I see-he has stuck to his promise.


And I started wondering, what happened to Amad that possessed him to leave Facebook? He was a gentle, kind young man, so I don't think it had to do with problems with Facebook peeps.πŸ‘€ Did he ditch his musical life and return to his religion? Or did he meet a partner and marry? I don't think it was the latter, because his post 'never again' has a negative πŸ‘Ž connotation to it. 


I miss Amad. And I will never know the answer to my question of what became of him. And it reminds me of something Paul wrote to me and is shared in the pages πŸ“š of CyberDayze: 


"Social networking: You have the ability to establish a certain degree of anonymity while being able to express talents, interests and passions in a way we cannot do in a terrestrial way. The downside is someone can disappear and then anonymity sucks. You miss them."


Tiz the downfall of Intangible friends, is it not?🀷♀️


CyberDayze.

It's like no other.
