WRITING: Bummer.

Wanted to give the same attention in editing to a Storyspace piece I’d finished a couple of months ago as I’d given A Bottle of Beer.  What a drag.

I love the story that’s made up of parallel stories in Paths, but reading it now when I’m dressed up in Ninja form  and swinging a sharpened blade, I just don’t feel like doing it. It’s not that it doesn’t need it, it’s just that it seems like it’s out of the past and I want to step into the future.  In other words, work on the new stuff.  Unfortunately, I may need Paths as part of a presentation on hypertext so it really does need to be edited and edited properly.  With ruthless precision and lack of emotion.  With total disregard for the author’s attachment to the piece.  With the sharp eye and instinct for the environment as an eagle.  And rip and shred facilities of hooked beak and long talons.

I scared.
