Internet Censorship – My Thought For the Week

Last week ended about 15 minutes ago, according to my clock. Yet it was not an ordinary week at all. As most of you are probably aware (unless you didn’t visit JoshRobertNay.com on Wednesday the 18th, or didn’t notice my previous post), JoshRobertNay.com joined Google, Wikipedia, WordPress, and thousands of other internet sites in a blackout, the largest online protest in history. Many people might wonder why an author such as myself is so against bills that supposedly help stop piracy. Well at this point you can probably look it up anywhere. This bill isn’t just trying to stop piracy.

Building Blocks … A Look Back

Two years ago today, Josh Robert Nay Online 1.0 was officially launched. Previously, the website had been called many things and went through many reinventions: J.R. Nay Connection (1999-2003), Gaia’s Adoration (2003-2007), space15 (2007-2009) and finally, in 2009, the final and official Josh Robert Nay Online was released. Here’s a quick overview of each of the former websites and their focuses, many of them having more included than writing! J.R. Nay ConnectionMy very first novice attempt at creating a website online, I honestly didn’t have my writing in mind when I created J.R. Nay Connection (JRNC). The site itself went

The Novel Frontier Begins

A new short story, more content, more pages … it has been a very fruitful and busy couple of days. Accomplishments have been made with little or no setbacks, and I could not have been happier with the results … The Wild Wild Mind Anyone who had ever read my work knows I’m more of a psychological writer. Most of my writing, while it may not always be extremely deep, has much to do with the characters in their mind than their actions. I try to put a little mixture of both in so as not to make the stories

Follow Me on Blogger, Twitter, Facebook, RSS

Work has me swamped today, so I thought I’d take a moment to remind everyone to follow me on Twitter, this blog, RSS Feed, or friend me on Facebook. I am, of course working on a permanent fan page on Facebook, but my own Facebook page will suffice for the time being. Following via RSS Following using the RSS option is by far the best option, as it notifies you of new posts on The Purple Dragon as well as new publications as soon as they are available.
