Writer StatementI agree with John Gardner that the writing of fiction is the "creation of a vivid and continuous dream." To write, one enters this dream state and allows one's characters to inhabit one's being and to speak through one. My fiction influences are diverse and range from 19th-century traditionalists like Henry James, Edith Wharton and George Gissing to 20th-century modernists like James Joyce and Virginia Woolf and postmodernists like Donald Barthelme. The Decryption of Floriform X -- This short, illustrated fiction was written on Twitter circa 2008, each tweet numbered to keep track. The God of Wind and Air -- Unfinished sequel to Decryption, written collaboratively on Twitter. The Manuscript of Jacob Hall -- Why write fiction? What is it "for"? |
Friday, February 03, 2006Color-Coded Code (Steganography)![]() So if you open MS Paint, you will notice that their Color Box includes 28 colors. Exclude Black and White, and you get this color-coded code, a simple alphabetic substitution code. To the right, you see a coded sentence, shown 2 ways. This is an example of a steganographic, or plain-sight, code. (Note: The computer used to create this image doesn't allow saving of PNGs directly from Paint. Therefore, the colors are inaccurate.)
