STORYSPACE: The Hanging – Discovery

February 2nd, 2008 by Susan


I do believe that Storyspace has brought me personally to a new realm of writing because of its capabilities that allow for not merely unlinearlike (!) storytelling, but breaking away from the necessity for linear thinking and planning.  I go here, I go there; in the middle of breakfast I realize things that have happened in the past of the characters that appear like memory jogs to me and I can easily drop them someplace on the SSP map and know that they’ve been saved.  And, know this: They will be relevant because they are a part of the character.  Maybe the specific episode needn’t be in the final story, but they are indeed a part of the makeup of the character.  Just like Sister Cyrene giving me a D in art in 1st grade has made a mark on me more permanent than my coloring outside of lines.

So this is how it works:  A bit of info comes to mind that I remember about Scott (I think that’s going to be his name) and this time, I found a place for it:
