STORYSPACE: A Beginning

March 19th, 2008 by Susan


Sometimes you just go with the flow.  After stalling on four different pieces started in Storyspace including one that is quite developed in content if not settled into story, this new work has appeared simply when I went to check out the color capabilities of the program.

This happened a couple weeks ago with Hypertextopia and ended up in a complete story, A Bottle of Beer. Just diddlin’ around with the format, seeing what the program does by filling in boxes with whatever came off the top of my head and something begins to form all by itself–very different than when I sit down to write something off a preconceived notion of story.

Don’t know if this is really going to go the length, if it’ll even develop an arc of sorts (or many, seeings that this is Storyspace), but I’ll give it some attention over the next couple of days.
