STORYSPACE: Link-enlogged
Spent all day on the couch working on this and my eyes are crossing. This was the way to do it though; using an existing story pre-plotted for hypertext. I have visible text and map to go by, so it’s a case of copy and paste and then look and link. This way I can concentrate on learning the Storyspace software.
And it’s not as intimidating as I first thought. I’ve actually read a good portion of the manual by referring to it to find out how to do something or reinforce a prior procedure (if it’s been longer than a half hour since I last performed it). There are things I’ve screwed up, like ignoring the option of hierarchy and making use of the other views. I also don’t know yet how to handle my three links from one keyword in the text without bringing up the link dialogue box (I think there’s a way to set priority), or if necessary, I can select different words. And, I’m not sure I have to link back. And, I haven’t played with guard fields yet. But tomorrow’s another day.
So it’s been close to a 15 hour class today. I guess I must like it.
