Project 5

I have absolutely no idea what I am going to do, or how I am going to do it. Probably nothing that takes collaboration because most people do not want to be bothered with even writing a few sentences.

metatext project 4

For project 4 I began a narrative and emailed people in my address list to please add to the story. Some could not follow directions, and several more did not bother to reply. Overall I think the project turned our o.k., but I would have liked to have seen many more people reply. I think the story could have gotten really interesting had many more people gotten involved. I tried to begin the narrative by being pretty general, so others could be creative and take it where they wanted to go. I didn't want them to feel like I was leading them in any certain direction to write. I wanted them to be as creative as possible.

Project 4

The air was crisp and cold that night, and my nose tingled each time the air entered. Each breath was recorded with a faint fog, and the leaves announced our presence in the woods to whomever or whatever might be lurking in the darkness around us. No matter how lightly we tried to step onto the ground we could be heard crunching through the night. The moon was in its cycle of hiding, making everything a dangerous obstacle. The screams that lingered behind us forced us to push on. Soon lights appeared in the night sky....

Thoughts on 4th project

I'm still unsure if I will just begin a story for people to add to, or write the complete story and just have them comment. It will be through my blog. I will just start with my email list, ask them to send it on, and make sure they have a deadline. I'm still unsure of what the narrative will be, but I am hopeful it will be passed on and added to readily. I really don't have any ideas on the personal or scandalous yet, let alone a title!

project 4 ideas

This project sounds pretty fun. I definitely want to do something that I can get my friends involved in. Maybe some kind of story or something. I'll have to think about what kind of story to go with, but I'll encourage them to send it around and see how big it can get.
