Letting the reader inside the story – #FridayMotivation

  By

“Good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader –
not the fact that it is raining,
but the feeling of being rained upon.”

E. L. Doctorow

To let the reader inside the story, the feelings, events, the conclusions, is what the art of writing is all about. The basics are an engaging story in itself as well as excellent storytelling. To integrate the reader even further in Your story you could add interactive design and publish your work as an interactive book. Very soon we will launch our PublishingLab for interactive books, our OnDemand-services is already available. Have a creative and beautiful weekend!

 

Discover book paths – an adventurous trip

  By

Mark Twain’s vision is empowered by the interactive book-format that both speed up the navigation back and forth, as well as simplifies the iReader’s efforts to discover her individual book path. This e.g. in comparison to a “course” where the term in itself and how it is managed forms a one-way-street through the content. In this sense, the book’s multifaceted aspects are definitely a format for the digital age, while a course assembly-line process is more of the industrial age.

Empowering solutions with added value – #FridayMotivation

“The solution often turns out more beautiful than the puzzle.”

Richard Dawkins

Our platform for integrated storytelling and interactive books is a great example of this. As the original vision was to bring engaging interactivity into the book-format with multimedia and simple tasks with feedback. The empowering solution after loads of work now includes total integration of gamification features, an AI Storyteller that reads the text (of course it is possible to use human voices too), interactive videos etc. etc. Soon it will also include augmented reality features.

Making Creativity Work – #MondayInspiration

  By

“He who loves practice without theory
is like the sailor who boards a ship
without a rudder and compass
and never knows where he may cast.”

Leonardo Da Vinci

Leonardo wrote and drew more than 5000 pages of notes and sketches about everything that came to his mind. The keys to his methods are based on practice, theory and visualisation to making creativity work. Where you according to Leonardo should start to work on detail after detail in order to create a whole “image”. We highly recommend to read Walter Isaacson’s biography about Leonardo since it gives a very insightful review about his life, work and methods.

Making creativity work with the 6iModel

Leonardo’s notebooks also formed an important pillar when developing the 6iModel, whose purpose is to work as a “rudder and compass” to all kinds of projects where creativity is the driving force. The 6iModel is described in the book “Learning Design in Practice for Everybody” by LarsGoran Bostrom   It is available in many bookstores and the printed hardcover edition can be ordered directly from the B-InteraQtive Publishing.

A Writers Iceberg – #inspirationalquote

  By

“If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water.”

Ernest Hemingway

… or to use Charles Dickens words:

“An idea, like a ghost, must be spoken to a little before it will explain itself.”

 

 

Rearranging the Laws of Perspective – #FridayMotivation

  By

“Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.”

Truman Capote

Finding that unique perspective will write your story. The explorative journey of finding and adapt it to your own prerequisites is a vital part of the writing challenge.  Happy Summer Writing!

“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.”
― Oscar Wilde

Such books that are challenging the mind and the world are the true documentaries of the time. Since they exploring what was and what is. While they empowering the future roads to improvements. As Oscar Wilde himself is an excellent example of being such an author and person. As he paid a very high price with imprisonment and much too early death at 46.
