Going Rogue
‘To behave erratically or dangerously, disregarding rules or the usual way of doing things. A departure from expected behavior, by acting independently or unconventionally. — Oxford English Dictionary
We would not be where we are as a society, scientifically, medically, and technologically, if someone or some group had not decided to ‘go rogue.’
It is born out of the need to challenge the status quo and the absolute necessity to ‘force change’ for the betterment of people. Forced change arrives at a crossroad. Continue on or go against the norm, because the norm is no longer working.
I have never seen a technology grow and develop at an ever-increasing rate like social media. As with everything, it can work negatively or positively, and we can harness it for greater creativity and opportunities.

I said in a previous newsletter, https://episodesserialfiction.substack.com/p/social-media-revolution?r=bu3cd , ever so subtly, but I will say here again now more emphatically, as a call to action, that both traditional publishing and self-publishing are at their own ‘crossroad.’ It’s not working.
What I am planning is, as the above definition states, that we disregard the rules, depart from expected behavior, and act independently and unconventionally.
My vision for ‘legitimate online publishing’ is to empower authors who will control their editing, their marketing, and publishing in a new, innovative way with “Digital Publishing.” This will be a fluid, organic, and evolving writing and publishing project.’
I propose a writing community that will work with aspiring writers to bring their story to a level ready for publishing and help advanced, like-minded writers develop a blueprint for their writing future.
Fellow writers, we can do whatever we want to. Our craft, our words, published our way.
