STORYSPACE: The Technical
Not as creative this morning so I attended to the technical side of the project.
Though I was too antsy to have set it up before, I am changing the font size to 14 from the teeny weeny 12 that is the program’s default. (12 in our world is not the same as 12 in the world of Storyspace.) I’m not changing the typeface though I would like to, but this at least makes it that much easier for me to work with.
Overall, the Storyspace environment is very easy to work with and to learn. Though I haven’t touched into all of its power, it already is very comfortable (esp. now with the 14 pt) and much of the manipulation has become second nature in a very short time. Constant, to the exclusion of all else, but what has it been–a couple of weeks?
By the way, for those who do look at manuals–and even I did when I ran into the unknown or my guesses weren’t working–the Adobe PDF format Storyspace manual is extremely well laid out and clearly describes the action to be taken to do whatever. Breezing through it prior to playing within the program, it would look rather complicated, but once one is familiar with working the software, it’s all crystal-clear.
