INTERACTIVE FICTION: Book and Volume

Well, it didn’t take long for me to fall right back into character with this–and I had to search the net to find the WinFrotz Interpreter to download.  I love IF, because it’s just so me.  I am in my … Continue reading Continue reading

INTERACTIVE FICTION: A Bit of History

Nice rundown on the base of interactive children’s books by if.books complete with pictures to call up memories to help us understand direction of the written word. I’d never had the opportunity between generations to come across the My Adventure … Continue reading Continue reading

EDGAR & I: A Quiet Evening of Celebration

Someone just got back from Baltimore, black trappings in their grief and bent from sorrow. Then, we have a special dinner, an after dinner drink and conversation.  The night is quiet, somber as we reflect. Man has not changed in … Continue reading

EDGAR and I: Compatibility

As I read into Alias Grace, Edgar is finetuning his absinthe-glazed grin with the horror of murder and bodies disassembled and beautiful women swathed in bloodsoaked sheets.  He likes that I write more in period style, with the wafting of … Continue reading Continue reading

EDGAR & I: Halloween

Here we sit at two in the morning, Edgar with his Absinthe, me dying for a goblet of Chartreuse, with an overflowing bowl of candy untouched by rotting corpse fingers or a witch’s green claws.  Not a ghost, goblin or … Continue reading Continue reading

EDGAR & I: A Reunion

Though he and I have not been close this long past year, I think of him and find a whisper of an answer in my writing style and language used of late. Not straightforward like Marquez, nor influenced as yet … Continue reading Continue reading

Edgar and I: Getting Reacquainted

So the buzz from the office isn’t the hard drive or the fan going on the fritz; it’s Edgar. Seems he’s a bit perturbed because I haven’t spent much time at the computer and he thinks I’ve stopped writing.  I … Continue reading Continue reading

EDGAR AND I: Influence

As a writer, I am a blotter.  In reading I absorb the ink out of the words, suck it in, place it aside and it marks my own clean sheets of paper. If I read contemporary literature, I come closer … Continue reading Continue reading

EDGAR and I & NEW MEDIA: Alone in the Maze

Half dulled interest, cotton-headed thoughts; he has watched and wondered where I am going. Technology unknown, but the ideas were always there, moving backward into crypts, forward into space, wanting, but not having the tools. Can you imagine what Mr. … Continue reading Continue reading

EDGAR and I: Our Affair and Fondness Weaken

I realize I have not been posting anything in this category for a while, and really, it is just because things between Edgar and I have been sort of up and down lately. I’ve really no complaints, except perhaps about … Continue reading Continue reading

EDGAR & I: Soul Mates

He is laughing. He thinks I don’t hear him, but I do. It is not the warp-speed winds we are having, nor the crows that squat from the cold to look like their large-headed raven cousins. It is him. I … Continue reading Continue reading

EDGAR and I: Turning Inward

I don’t seem to have control lately, but I’ve found a friend in Edgar. Patiently he waited, watching me work, helpless and floundering in my efforts. Single-minded focused on one thing only, I am prey and he is predator. He … Continue reading Continue reading
