STORYSPACE: Hypertext Info

November 18th, 2007 by Susan


Sometimes I think that not only do I walk a different road than most of the world, but I’m walking it backwards as well.

In poking around Eastgate’s site (just like car shopping, you browse the lot on Sundays when there are no salesmen around) I found the excellent resource of Hypertext Now.  I’m familiar with the title, likely heard it a few years ago, probably visited the site back when I hated reading hypertext and just never wandered onto it again, despite many visits to the sites that point to it.  Well now that I’m a writer in hypertext form, I’m all agog about it and every other word out of my mouth is hyper-this or that.

So here’s the official journey:  I’m introduced to the hypertext format, learn what I must to understand what’s going on in the lit class and not jeopardize my grade, meander around to make sure I don’t like it, touch back now and then on the average of once every six months, read a new hypertext novel, get excited, buy Storyspace, write my own story, read the Storyspace manual, rediscover the Hypertext Now site, learn a lot more about hypertext.

This is why I want to believe in reincarnation.
