F<\/span>amily Tree<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"52familytree\"<\/a>After the more serious, too realistic nature of #51 Snakes and Snails,<\/a> I was happy to be inspired today to cut loose a bit and let my imagination take leave of reality.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I don’t have that wild anything goes streak that Steve and many of the others allow to emerge in their work; it’s there, I just can’t seem to unlock the gates to set it loose on the public. I’ll likely be eighty and writing the strangest, free-est tales of my life. Well, not about my life; those will never get past my fingers or lips.<\/p>\n

Couple things I realized with this story; first, that I tend to use the map as a source of inspiration and it becomes as much a part of the story as the words (that’s a tree by the way). Second, that while I aim to always link semantically, it’s not always possible on such short notice. The text links are relative in some form however, even if it’s a “he” or “she” thread pattern I’m weaving. And as always, the final link in the space is usually the boring, most direct route.<\/p>\n

Another thing I’m becoming more aware of is how to direct the reader to take one path over another by word choice. For example, in a previous hypertext #46 Suicide Notes<\/a>, it seemed that at a certain point in the story the text word of “father” would want to be clicked after foreshadowing led to that point. In this piece, well, I’m kind of guessing that “suck” will win out over “falling.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
