I<\/span>’m really antsy to get going on a new story idea that’s really different than anything I’ve written so far, and Storyspace is the ideal medium to bring it to life.<\/p>\n

The general idea is of man against man–one of the basic plots in life but this will be grounded in today’s realities that point easily to a possible scenario: a diminishing work force supporting an increasingly long-lived baby boomer population.  I’ve got all kinds of ideas picked up over the last few years, including my own "apple and blanket in the woods" plans for a nice quiet "I’ll get out of the way now" ending.   This necessarily will involve past, present and future points in time, but with hypertext, messing around with that is the fun part.<\/p>\n

I’m also interested in playing more with some graphics and sound in Storyspace, but might talk Steve into experimenting together on the Marie narrative we were playing with some time ago.<\/p>\n

The neat thing about having already created a Storyspace piece, and particularly in the needing to form and manipulate the story into the software environment is that I’ve learned lots more about solving problems using the medium than just going with the flow.  That opened up a lot of opportunities that I might not have come up against just in building a story suiting the form.<\/p>\n

Likely as not I’ll post a couple of the opening writing spaces as soon as they’ve settled into a structure of sorts–and even that’s more easily coming to mind now that I’ve both read some of the information on hypertext fiction and played in it myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
