With only nine more days of the 100 Days Project to go, I’m looking forward to READING! It’s been a full three months of nothing but writing hypertext short stories to the exclusion of just about all else. I’ll remember the summer of ’09 as the summer I don’t remember happening.
While I’m thrilled that I kept up the pace of a story/day along with the rest of the group in the production of story, paintings, photography, sounds, poetry, meals, it’s been for me an all or nothing project. Maybe I’m just not that quick-minded to work up a narrative–even with the hypertext format–in a couple to a few hours. I needed to spend total concentration into each story and that took up most of each day. I also didn’t see it as just an exercise to throw anything out there and really tried to do the best I could with each, though I see a lot of editing and rewriting possibly in the future if I want to keep the 100 flash fictions pieces online.
It’s been an experience, but I’m honestly looking forward to getting back into all the things I’ve let go by in my single-minded attempts to write.
