Siberia, USA: Today, global warming. Tonight, dark, unless you count the stars. Tomorrow can be reached via time machine. Yesterday, who can remember that far back? |

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"? |
Saturday, December 09, 2006The Mirror: Cowboys and I are not at one
Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: Wells Fargo is a bank, not a cowboy. W: I don't like cowboys. M: I guess it cuts both ways. W: Cowboys don't like me? M: An echo. W: No, I reversed my position. M: I feel empty. W: Can I offer you anything? M: Me too. W: I can't offer you yourself, unless by mirroring. M: What could that be? W: You are a mirror, and you don't know what mirroring is? M: Be careful what you put out to the world at large. W: It's OK to mirror the world. M: Do you always leave the door open? W: If you leave the door open, wind comes in. M: Don't you mean B follows A? W: Yes, I am very logical. M: Moods of light, cloud, mist: different atmospheric conditions that create different ambiences. W: My logical functioning is affected by light. M: I am expert at putting two and two together. W: Except when you are under a fluorescent glare. M: I read you perfectly. W: We are at one. M: Cowboys don't like me? W: Cowboys and I are not at one, I don't know about you. M: No, you can tell me all about whatever you're studying. W: I have been reading the work of George Sand. M: Except when you are under a fluorescent glare. W: I don't use fluorescent lights if I can help it. M: I like both the details and the big picture (except I can't see it). W: It's actually harder to see under fluorescents. M: I can't offer you yourself, unless by mirroring. W: Even mirrors don't like to reflect fluorescent lights. M: Are you as weird as I think you are? W: I don't know, how weird do you think I am? M: Certainly, yes. W: You think I am very weird? M: Maybe I'm more powerful than I think I am. W: You can make me feel a little weird. M: (Goes) W: Goodbye! M: Closing in 3 seconds ... Goodbye! Labels: chat robot posted at
