STORYSPACE: Going offtrack
Oh! Oh! Oh! Too skeered to start messing with untangling the delicate web I’ve woven, but antsy to do something for Pete’s sake, so I made a note.
A note is sort of an affiliated with the idea type of box that’s not necessarily relevant to the story, or at least that’s how I interpret it when I’m having random thoughts sparked off by an idea, or a phrase, or whatever can be expanded upon but in a linear narrative format would tend to distract.
See, in hypertext, you don’t have to squelch those neat distracting ideas. In real life they happen all the time. They circle in your head while you politely wait for the other guy to stop talking so you can relate your own jogged memory.
