Colossal Cave Adventure Micro Blog

Hello Again everyone!

Today I played an interactive fiction game called Colossal Cave. It reminded me of all the old, choose your own adventure books, I use to read when I was younger. It was a hypertext game, that let you read the story while you input commands, to give your character choices to follow. I admit I had some trouble at first to find out the right commands to use. I personally feel this is a good way to tell a story. Like this and the many narratives, we have read so far, is engaging to certain audiences.
According to The New Digital Storytelling. " Unlike a novel, we have no single, linear direction to follow. Instead, reading a hypertext is something like a hybrid of exploring a space" He talks about how we are the authors. We get to make an impact on the narrative.
This type of storytelling is different because, in a way, we get to experience the narrative as if we were a part of it. Also since there are so many choices the path and ending can always change. Compared to what we have read so far. Though you can always change on what you think about the narrative. You can't actively choose your own adventure in something such as this.
I hope and encourage you all to read and choose your own adventure.

    I've only read one "choose your adventure" book but it was super interesting. I found it at a friend's house and had never seen anything like it. Books like that pique the interest of the reader and make it so much more interesting I think that even those who don't usually like to read would enjoy them.

MicroBlog She's a flight risk (2003)

Hello again! everybody I am new to writing blogs. It is something I have never done before. I admit it is a little intimidating, but I am going to try my best. I would really appreciate comments on how I am writing to better improve my blogs thank you everybody. I chose this blog because, I am interested into mysteries and I like a good narrative on whats going on in people's mind in certain situations. How does  one  literary feature from  The Literary Web for Theorists  enhance the story? As we begin she leaves some strange info about herself, I’m twentysomething and I am an international fugitive. “My name is isabella v. But it isn’t..” Why would she say this? Why is she an international fugitive? Leaving clues and half truths about her situation. She is still trying to adjust to her new situation “The first two weeks, the hardest, are over. I feel mostly safe. As safe as I can feel.” She blogs about how she must be careful. She misses the old world, the old her

If I Did My Own Podcast

Hello Everyone! Another week and another Microblog just for you! This week I have been thinking what would it be like to have my own podcast? What should I podcast about? Two very good questions and I feel like I have some good answers to that. Three ideas that come to mind are fictional stories, a journal of myself and things that I find interesting to talk about, plus my opinions. I feel for me, my creative process is always changing, but that makes it a wonderful thing. At this moment I feel it is best to have a theme and or a structure to the things I podcast about. Honestly, I would just have fun with it and see what I would learn from the experience. If I was podcasting a digital story. I would talk about a fantasy story that's kinda like D&D style. I would narrate the characters to engage more with my followers. If I did a  podcast about my life. I would talk about my work, problems and my health issues. I find it important for people to get to know the real me.
