author paddleduck

Aunt Julie is the author of Paddleduck Julie, A little girl from Texas. First time publisher of children's books about her childhood in Texas. This is a collection of lively short stories for the young and young at heart.
Author Paddleduck is an adventurous and mischievous girl who likes to have fun. Paddleduck did not want to go to school. Paddleduck was getting ready to start the school year. She had to catch the bus early to get to school on time and be ready to start at 8:00 AM. She begged her mom not to make her go. Lo and behold, she heard a commotion outside. She went to look out the window, and all her friends were playing at the bus stop. YES! Paddleduck was ready to join her friends. Her mom handed her lunch bag to her, and off she went.

Immoral Authority

Authorities who preach moral values but practice immoral acts and who often live a secret hedonistic lifestyle. In some cases, Institutions like churches and political parties can create institutional barriers that help enable immoral acts.
The children in the Sunday school had a very hard time understanding the difference between a Moral Authority and an Immoral Authority. Some of the students found it especially hard to understand, especially those with first hand knowledge.

"ghost writer" AUTHORity

Rampant in "chain of command" situations --- especially the military and "mega-biz" establishments --- whereby everybody wants to push underlings around but then hastily "passes the buck" and claims ignorance/innocence when things go sour. Refers to the deplorable practice of an arrogant/dictatorial/irresponsible/ignorant a**h**e with way too much power ("authority") giving unwise/ineffective/counter-productive orders to one or more hapless underlings, brusquely refusing to listen to their urgently-beseeching appeals about the fallacy/unfairness/danger of proceeding as he told them, but then suddenly shedding all knowledge/responsibility (i.e., not admitting that he was indeed the "author" of those crazy stipulations) regarding said preposterous directives whenever s**t hits the fan afterwards as a result of his subordinates' having reluctantly-but-obediently carried out his unwisely-mandated actions.
I long ago decided to not just blindly/arbitrarily follow orders/rules/laws, no matter what position or experience or education/training that their "authors" happened to supposedly possess... I **always** use my own judgement/conscience in all my actions. Too many times in the past, I've gotten in knee-deep doo-doo MYSELF for someone else's screw-ups in reasoning/planning, only to have said "idiot in power" pull da ol' "ghost writer" AUTHORity trick on me, never admitting or even falsely denying ever having told me to proceed that way, just so that HE would not have to suffer any of the fallout from his own preposterous directives.

Author-Cast

Written with a hyphen, the phrase author-cast refers to the author's equivalent of a fancast. It is the practice of casting celebrities as characters in your book. Originated in the fanfic-writing community and is very prevalent on Wattpad. However, there is still an issue with representation in author-casts.
"Hey, I just finished my author-cast, want to see?"
"Oh, cool! You have Idris Elba casted as the dad!"
"Yeah, he looks just like how I imagined him!"

death of the author

A pretentious, postmodern jerk-off idea, popular among some academics, that says that the creator of an artistic work is irrelevant to the work, that their thought processes and intentions in creating the work don't matter, that they are not an authority on the very thing that they created, and that YOU, the passive consumer of the work, are more qualified to know what the work is about than they are, who put tons of hard work and effort into creating it.
Who does this "Ray Bradbury" person think he is, saying that Fahrenheit 451 is about how nobody reads books anymore? *I* say it's about censorship, dammit! What does HE know, he only wrote the damn thing! Death of the author says that creators are just passive, empty vessels through which the Divine Muse speaks!

Authors

The idea that the Bible has multiple authors is not something I learned from Jordan Peterson but, rather, Morgue.
Hym “The funniest part about this is watching you turn into a self-serving, self-important narcissist. It’s hilarious. You’ll take the undue credit and claim to be what this is based on but it is based everything I have ever encountered. You are one of many and (In my opinion) the most arrogant and contemptible. You are you and I am Hym. You couldn’t do what I did if you tried and the funniest part is that I was just winging it. So, there are no ‘authors’. I wrote down ideas that I had internalized in addition to ideas of my own. You’re conflating the two. In every instance where the ideas of others are replaced with mine, mine come out on top. By every metric. Whether it’s ratings, revenue, or the standard for creative achievement (subsequent texts being based on the source). This is what competence looks like. Behold. Is I blinding? Can you see? Or must you shield your eye from the radiant light that is the very essence of my being?.”
