TINDERBOX: The Tinderbox Way
Got this in the mail today and I’ve just had a chance to read the first few pages of this supplement to the Tinderbox experience.
First impression? The author (and designer of Tinderbox) Mark Bernstein is much too modest. This program rocks! I don’t know exactly what I’ll be using it for, but I’ve already put it to use to control and compartmentalize the rash of creative ideas I brought back with me from Hypertext 08. I can see this as an ongoing project and have ideas as well to use the program to consolidate my writing efforts into some semblance of form whereby the straight narrative, the Storyspace ventures, and the imminent forays into Inform and flash will be completely contained within a project file that will include all links to files, websites, images, etc. that will pertain to each piece of work, complete with submissions and of course, those damned rejections as well.
The neat thing about Tinderbox is that it is a creative way to corral the wild horses of a creative mind.
