BLOGGING: A Satisfying Compromise
I was almost sorry I’d allowed the Googlers back in–mainly students doing research on literary papers probably due the next day. I’d halted the flow about a year or two ago, when it bothered me to see what search terms … Continue reading Continue reading

LITERATURE: Slowdowns
Realized that with the number of books I’m reading simultaneously, and with titles such as S/Z, Ethics, Hypertext 3.0 among them, reading and updates will be a bit slower than usual. I should probably plan the time spent in each … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING: Strike While the Iron is Hot
Funny thing about inspiration; it comes without warning. In seeking out an idea for story for Storytron exploration, just a basic simple situation that offers a variety of interesting characters and outcomes, suddenly I’m writing on a story that lay … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING & STORYTRON: Method
A little strange, although it has happened before: I went to my "Creative Writing" folder on the hard drive, then "Stories Started," and curious, opened a file called "Gazpacho " and came upon two pages of a story started almost … Continue reading Continue reading
STORYTRON: Almost Ready for Action
It was a bit of fun to play around in the SWAT (the building of verb action) for a while, but with manual and tutorial in hand, I want to explore more seriously. The possiblities here are tremendous–although at this … Continue reading Continue reading

STORYTRON: Planning Story
It is obvious that the Storytron manner of planning story is total alien to my natural method of writing. I tend to start with an opening paragraph, whether to set mood, create a backdrop or situation, or present a character, … Continue reading Continue reading

STORYTRON: Character-Driven Story
In going back and rereading the concept of this writing tool program, it is even more intrigueing in its possibilities. Within the program portion called SWAT, the writer creates a cast of characters by building their personalities and thus, their … Continue reading Continue reading
LITERATURE & NEW MEDIA: Afternoon, A Story – Unstructured Reading

REALITY?: Morning Prayer
I lift my eyes up to the vista of sky, the emptiness yet promise it holds and pray for four. One gone, and peace is what I want him given. To the second, the same, for he is almost there. … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA & STORYTRON: Storytron Authoring Tool
Well once again I’m off on a quest of exploration and discovery, sent by he who chuckles once I’ve finally bitten down on the bait. The same chuckler who put me in the middle of Grace and Trip’s marital problems … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA: Facade
Found this at Storytronics, and passing it along (since you all remember, don’tcha, how involved I got with this interactive visual/audio/text interplay last year): If any of you are interested, our research team here at Georgia Tech would like to … Continue reading Continue reading
