between life and the net, I asked for Scribe
This work -- written simultaneously on ARTS WIRE and on The WELL --
was begun while I lay in bed in Tempe, Arizona recovering from a serious
accident. I could not go out, and sometimes days went by when there
was no human contact.
The collaboration (hoped for but not asked for) was spontaneous. While
(restlessly fictionizing on a laptop generously lent to me by Xerox PARC)
I wrote out the pain, other writers added words about the details of their
lives -- providing windows on the world for "scibe".
