STORYSPACE: A Hundred and Six Ways to Get There
So far, that is. I have 76 writing spaces and 106 links, but that means that there’s actually a lot more since all you have to do is take one different and that in fact it’s a multiplier, but I’m not done yet. Some links will be added, some will be eliminated, some spaces will be rewritten–one of the stories will be changed considerably–and I haven’t gotten into guard fields yet. I’ve been focusing on story and I do see where there could be much, much more added to these to make them more than just reflections on past decisions.
The concept of this story is perfect for hypertext, the cliche of "the one that got away." I do have more to the stories, as any relationship is much more complicated simply because there are two individuals involved. Goodness knows, if I wrote an autobiography there’d be a cast of thousands involved before I even brought in any other characters.
Now’s the time I’m looking for that cabin in the woods (or, Albert, Texas) so that I can do hypertext, all hypertext, and nothing but hypertext for a couple of days.
