In March, an aspiring author got a troubling message: All of her works in progress were no longer accessible. What happened next is every writer’s worst fear.

Google never specified which of her 222,000 words was inappropriate.

...

Generally speaking, files containing #violence, #abuse, child sexual abuse material, and gore violate the terms of service for Google Drive and its associated products, like Docs and Sheets.

Now many of you will be thinking, who is stupid enough to store everything in the Google #cloud? The problem is we know that, but many people out there don't. We urgently need to do more educational work and warn people about companies like Google and their practices. Tell all your friends and acquaintances and don't use the clouds of the big corporations.

Writing advice:

Love what you write.

I promise you, if you manage this one thing, the rest will take care of itself. If you truly love what you write, you'll do everything in your power to make it the best it can be.

And you will succeed.

They are right you know? If you aren't faithful to the book, why bother rushing and ruin TV adaptation? Target audiences? Profits? Cavill doesn't think so. Nor does Sapkowski or GRRM. Game of Thrones? Heroes? American Gods? And others. He's a fan of the original Witcher story from the books. Respect for the original material matters. Benioff better not do Liu Cixin injustice in season 2.
