The site is interesting -- so they take your words/stories/poems and turn them over to an artist, who then renders them as a broadside with an illustration .... intriguing. I think I may do it and see what happens. Kevin Hi Susan

Seems like the perfect place to publish some of these stories! http://www.broadsidedpress.org/guides.shtml Wish I could keep up with you! Susan Kevin,

Sometimes, inspiration strikes and I can't write fast enough. Other times, I need to walk away from the words and return later. I am conscious of the limit I am placing on myself as I write these: how to create a character, with back story and if possible, leaving the reader with something to ponder. All in a short frame of mind. The hypertext move is not changing the stories as much as I had hoped, to be honest, but it is allowing me to group them by some themes. Hypertextopia may not be what I am looking for, but it is a start. I'll post the link to my Hypertextopia project tomorrow. Kevin Bonnie

As you move them to hypertext, how does that change them? I know that I am becoming more and more intrigued by what happens to text when it mixes with digital media? What do you think? I just listened to you pieces and read along. The voice adds so much. I gives you so much control over how we read the piece, adds more to your communication of the text.

These are powerful pieces, sad. I love the challenge and the movement of the sentences. Now I have to return and listen to you read them. That makes it different. Did you change the way you podcast(the arrows?) Quick fiction, how long does it take to write a piece? These are powerful pieces, sad. I love the challenge and the movement of the sentences.
