Welcome Post and Commenting Guidelines

 Hello everyone,

Welcome to The Official Alex Russo Blog! This blog is intended for those who are interested in becoming writers themselves or are interested in these genres. As a result, some of the topics that will be covered in this blog are:

  • Tips to help those who are emerging authors of all ages to choose a genre and start writing
  • Tips on self-publishing books
  • Tips on world building
  • Literary critiques
  • Foreign languages and building conlangs
  • How to make a book one is writing true to the genre
  • How to keep your writing historically or scientifically accurate and plausible
  • And as I continue to grow as a writer, other related topics such as marketing
The best part about this blog is that it's open to everyone. Yes. Everyone, all ages, all languages! You don't need any accounts or identification to use my blog either. It's there for those who are casually interested to those who are serious about writing. 

However, because this blog is for everyone, there will be zero tolerance for users whose comments contain language that is explicit, promoting violence or rebellion, demeaning, or political in nature. Please keep your comments on a post about the original topic or to ask for help or advice on your own writing. I cannot control who will see what, so basically, if you cannot say anything nice, don't say anything at all. (Only comments about geopolitical relations that involve at least one fictional entity, discussion about rebellion against oppressors in literature, and discussion about political affairs in biography or journalism are exempt from this rule as long as they are worded respectfully and apply to the original post's topic.) 

I wish you all the best of luck on your literary journeys, whether recreational or professional. With that, I welcome you to my blog!

Mice Moods: Part One in a Case Study of Worldbuilding in the Redwall Series

 Hello everyone! One of my favorite book series is Redwall by Brian Jacques. It has shaped my style for worldbuilding, which all of my friends tell me is my strong-suit. Because I am passionate about worldbuilding, I thought I would analyze this series in depth. This article is the beginning of a series that will cover what influenced Jacques' worldbuilding style and will break down various portions of text from the books to see what makes it so strong. All citations will be in APA style for this article. WARNING: This series will contain blurbs from the actual books, so there will be multiple spoilers in this series. If you are planning on reading this series and want to avoid spoilers, please proceed with caution. What Were the Factors that Influenced Jacques' Worldbuilding Style? When Jacques began writing the Redwall series, he worked as a milkman who delivered to a school for the blind in England. Moved by his audience's disability, he sought to put much care into his ...

Like No Other: A Mind-Bending Short Story about AI

 Hi Everyone! I know I've been absent for a while. To be honest, regular posting isn't my thing. So, I'm switching my blog to being a more "whenever-I-think-about-it" posting strategy.  Okay, enough about me and my schedule. Now, what you may be looking for. I wanted to share this short story I wrote a while back with you.  Inspiration I got the idea for this story from the idea of the "singularity" in AI, defined as an AI system that can perform tasks that are indistinguishable from human work. However, due to resistance against AI, it made me wonder what would happen if an advanced AI turned against AI, but only because it was unaware of its nature. Additionally, I had learned about the Cultural Revolution in China, and it made me wonder what a Second Cultural Revolution in China might look like if it addressed issues faced in contemporary society, and how this would impact relations with other nations and the world order. Despite the nature of the pro...
