Taking a break…
…from the fiction/nonfiction paper I have been struggling with for the past few days, and switching over to the other two projects I have hanging.
Have started the actual writing of my Public Texts paper, which is a lot more fun. For that one, I am comparing the process of publishing online with that of publishing a book in codex form, using the website I am publishing for the musical I am writing for my Textual Transmissions course.
I have mapped both the musical and the Public Texts paper out fully in my Inspiration software, so I know where I’m going and just need to get there. I think that I will - barring interuption by a friend who has offered to take me shopping sans hubby today but not told me what time - be able to finish the entire first draft of the paper today - then I shall let it sit for a day or two, give it a final edit, and fire it off. It would be nice to have at least one of the 3 major projects done, don’t you think? I do!
Anyway …because I was working on it, I finally got ’round to updating the Cruising website to include the newest lyrics. These are a rewrite of The Good Ship Lollipop; my version is called The Cruise Ship Prometheus. Apparently, according to Stephanie, I might be having just a bit too much fun with my lyrics
. It’s supposed to be a “campy moral horror” remember!
All feedback - on this particular addition, the musical as a whole, or the webpage for it - is much appreciated. There is a comments link on the website which points to a forum you are more than welcome to join, or you can post comments here, if you like.
Part of my premise for the Public Texts paper is that, of course, the web allows for interactivity and feedback from viewers - so it would really suck if I was not successful in getting any comments about it, don’t you think?!















OK, OK, stop crackin’ that whip. I’m goin’ I’m goin’!
