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"? |
Thursday, March 30, 2006Flowchart Symbols![]() My Java tutor wanted me to chart the logic in an example program from the Ivor Horton book, and I realized I needed Flowchart 101 before proceeding. This image includes all the flowchart symbols from the Microsoft Drawing toolbar, with their labels applied. (I wonder whether "Card" and "Punched Tape" are still applicable nowadays!) |
