First off I want to let you all know that I have been writing this blog for two hours. Not the one you are reading now, but the one my laptop chose to delete while I was proofreading it. I am so fucking pissed right now, I could curb a hooker. But I won't. Instead, I will write about something in a completely different direction to what I was writing about in hopes that the technology gods will find it suitable and allow it to be posted.
This is pretty exciting.....I am learning about apps on my phone. Clearly, I am learning about them from my children because I am elderly and incapable of new thoughts or ideas. I have the usual suspects on my iPhone...Words With Other People Who Have No Life, Pandora, Netflix (which I never use because golly gee it uses so much data) and Groupon which I love for those special occasions when I want to spend money on shit I will never use. Recently, I found this app called Werdsmith and only because it was free, I loaded it up. I could put ideas I had for writing in there. I could even do full writings and track my completion of projects. So I entered a couple things and then I got scared. Why? Because I have mental issues due to childhood trauma ie: I was a child and my parents weren't perfect. I was having a conspiracy theory moment. Here is what made me stop using the app. I was sure that what they had successfully set up was a way to take my good ideas (if I actually had any) and get them published under their own name therefore ruining any chance I had of getting published. Which clearly I am concerned about since I spend no time writing or trying to get published. Here is where that thought led me. I post hundreds of pictures of myself, my kids, these blogs ect. on the Internet and think nothing of it. There may be nude pics of me out in the world wide web and I don't give two shits about those. I am more concerned about my brilliant ideas that I never use, getting used by some asshole who invented an app and is now a millionaire. Because wouldn't it make sense for a person like that to steal my mediocre writing ideas? I deleted that app. Conspiracy or not, I am not giving those ideas away for free.
