Category Archives: NEW MEDIA

Very odd:  In about close to ten sessions, or stageplays that I’ve conducted, it was only in the last one where Grace walked out of the apartment and her marriage.  Then, on the very next stageplay, Trip walks out!  Now … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Ohhhh!  I feel so badly!  I had to answer the real phone in the middle of a visit with this couple and by the time I got back, things had gone from bad to worse and within a few minutes, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Well now, we’ve just found another little bit of info about Grace, who just seemed upset about her career and Trip’s phoney baloney aspirations: GRACETrip… GRACEuhh… GRACEIn college…     I was in love with someone else. TRIPWhat?! GRACEAn art major, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

As I play Solitaire or Freecell between writing or framing, I’m wondering why I can keep going back to these–for years, even–and still play them.  I can’t do that with Silent Hill 2–though I do need to because I haven’t … Continue reading → Continue reading →

The purpose to my own exploration of Facade is multinatured.  As a writer, I am furthering my steps into the world of new media that has lured me beyond the pages and into a moving visual and audio world of … Continue reading → Continue reading →

In the continuing saga of the Trip and Grace, Steve has managed to bring out one more underlying catalyst for their marital problems, that of Trip’s being ashamed of his parents in comparison to Grace’s wealthier upbringing.  This is a … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Well that knocked Grace and Trip speechless.  I just kept kissing Trip in front of Grace! Addendum:  Honest, this was an experiment using a character I had already used, that of "Amy", and trying to determine if the action had … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Now that I’ve gotten hooked on Facade, I’m questioning as well its purpose and as it relates to writing and literature. Of course, Facade is new media.  It is a story.  It is interactive and it goes beyond text.  It … Continue reading → Continue reading →
