WRITING: Process
After fiddling with a new theme and layout in css, I finally am getting down to the business of writing out today’s flash fiction hypertext. There’s a pretty specific starting point for the story because in this case (for the … Continue reading
WRITING & HYPERTEXT: Tinderbox Fun
In the 100 Days Project, Steve Ersinghaus generously shared two versions of a story to show how the writing process works to sometimes show us when we get bogged down and how to turn the story around by approaching it … Continue reading
HYPERTEXT & WRITING: Comic Relief in Magical Realism
I’ve been having some fun within the frame of intense work in writing a hypertext story each day for a grand total of one hundred through the summer if I can manage to keep it up. Even if I don’t, … Continue reading
WRITING: Poetics
Was writing hypertext stories for the past couple of weeks and now I’m going to take the time to do some editing. Still my favorite line though from the last one: “I paint my lips with cherries, my eyes with … Continue reading
NEW MEDIA & WRITING: Story Must Have a Beginning
I have left the beginner for the end, being hypertextually inclined to screw with linearity that way. Steve Ersinghaus is the starting point for the 100 Days: Summer 2009 project, a reversal of his role with Carianne Mack in last … Continue reading

WRITING: Story
Maggie claims ” I think all of you who write are so creative and good long-range planners, too! I can barely come up with one story . . .) But Maggie is wrong. A part of the 100 Days: Summer … Continue reading
HYPERTEXT and WRITING: A Constant Learning Process
Haven’t gotten much reading time in, but I have been writing, both straight text and hypertext. I’ve finally overcome my fear of Tinderbox–not that it’s at all a difficult program to learn, but rather that my assurance of comfort within … Continue reading
WRITING: Letting Life Go By
Tried one last time to stir people up to stir me up to decision on those stories and just didn’t get fired up enough to try reading them again. Sometimes you just get sick of your own stuff and after … Continue reading
WRITING: Another Season Goes By
One by one the reading periods close and I let them without submitting. Yes, there’s all year to write and edit and get them in well within the time period, but I am a procrastinator and don’t always have something … Continue reading
WRITING: When it’s working…
…you sort of can tell. When you find yourself chuckling over something even as you write it, you know the story is at the very least, going to be interesting. At best, you know that you’re doing something right: letting … Continue reading
WRITING: Flaws will bloom when deadlines loom
With the reading period within a day of ending for many of the literary journals, I’m frantically reading, reading and rewriting a story that just showed up in my brain a couple days ago. It seems I put a good … Continue reading
WRITING & BLOGGING: The Perennial Question
Yeah, it’s been a while, but I’m again starting to ask myself “Why bother?” prompted by lack of response (gotta find that Mark Bernstein post on why comments on blogs are not a great idea) but stirred to think more … Continue reading
CURRENT AFFAIRS & WRITING: Showing vs. Telling
We get several local weeklies and in going through one this morning, I see a story unfold that is more personal, more poignant than the news on TV, the internet, or big newspaper articles. It is the story of the … Continue reading

REALITY & WRITING: Editing
Uh-oh. It seems that my sharpened eye has leaked into my ear and I find myself finding the flaws with tv shows and commercials. Just saw the Hallmark talking card ad: a woman, surrounded by her family at a dinner … Continue reading
WRITING: Update on Writers Conference
Usually I check links immediately but it was taken right off the flyer–unfortunately, it was wrong and I’ve corrected it in the post and here, for the Wesleyan Writers Conference. In checking, I happened to notice that there’s some nice … Continue reading
