- Probe the media. Experiment, miscengate, transgress boundaries.
Resist propositions of unity or necessity -- especially your own.
- Exploit the word as image, the image as word. Realize that
cybertext is animated by a dynamic balance of possibility and selection,
array and sequence.
- Project a world. A "world taken as real?" A world of
"modally appropriate interactions?" Or a world surreal, unreal, and
totally inappropriate.
- Explore space. Think in multiple dimensions. Create volume
and extensiveness; and do not forget the spaces between.
- Remember it's all a game. Over the last 25 years, "serious"
writing has become largely joyless. Maintain your joy. If you can't
have fun, make fun... of something...
