While I don't want to limit myself to working only in text, I also don't want to fall into that trap of losing story by depending upon glitz and flash. There should be room for all types of narrative display, whether the visual is in images or of letters that are considered words.

Multimedia is great, but only if it helps you tell a story in a more interesting way.
