Everybody Can Write A Book

Three years ago, when I developed QTSaver as a micro content search engine, I already saw the possibility to write whole books by combining micro contents and thus showing them as macro contents also known as chapters, or papers.

I started a big scale pilot :

I gathered 1500 blog-posting-micro-contents, sorted them by categories like: meaning, history, usages, stamps - and then copied and pasted them into the right category. All I had to do was to edit the material, mostly to erase duplicates and voila… I got the printed books.

See: http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/printed-blook-0

What I want to emphasize is that everybody can write a book- it’s that simple!

WhiteSmoke

Do you use WhiteSmoke software for proofreading?
I bought it two weeks ago, and it saved me at least 60 times since then.
I just finished writing my book: Star of David Album, which has about 15 text pages and the rest are photos. After proofreading it with WhiteSmoke, I sent it to a few friends and each one of them wrote me back that he found no typos. I accepted their opinion as a complement for someone that dares writing in English, which is not his mother tongue.

• Recently the good folk at WhiteSmoke sent me a copy of their writing software to evaluate. So here's my review of this popular tool for writers... For those who don't know, WhiteSmoke is a program that aims to help its users produce better-written documents. It does this by analyzing the spelling, punctuation and grammar in any document, and then suggesting corrections and possible improvements. WhiteSmoke is compatible with Microsoft Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows2000, and Windows XP. It will work in almost any text-based application, including word processors, email programs, web-based forms, and so on. Once WhiteSmoke is installed on your PC, you use it as follows. First, you create your text in your chosen application (e.g.
• Select the text you want to analyze by highlighting it in the normal way, then press the WhiteSmoke shortcut key. This is set by default to F2, though you can change it if you like. In Word a separate "Enrichment" button is created on the toolbar, and you can click on this as an alternative to pressing the shortcut key.
• WhiteSmoke will then open in a new window, with your selected text in a box in the middle. Spelling mistakes are highlighted in red and grammar mistakes in green. When you move the cursor over any item, suggested corrections (a range of them) appear in a box at the foot of the screen.
• Perhaps the most interesting feature for writers, however, is the enrichment function. The WhiteSmoke software analyzes your writing and looks for ways it could be improved, e.g. by using an alternate word or phrase (thesaurus function), or by adding extra words.
