Superheroes and continuous partial attention
I had quite a bit of fun making this thing. You are a little constrained by the scenes, the fact there can be only two characters, not being able to move things around and so on but in a way that was a good thing for me. I don't consider myself particularly creative so the fact there were those constraints scaffolded the writing side of things a bit. I must say, though, the software is pretty clunky so it's quite time consuming but I'm sure it'll get faster and easier to use as they continue to develop it.

Haha that's awesome Phil. I definitely got your point about the decline in social interaction. Although it sounds like someone might have iPhone envy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shayna. I didn't intend for my character to have iphone envy - it must be my own iphone envy coming through.
ReplyDeleteGreat Phil. Very funny. For someone who loves creative writing and storytelling I don't have an innate understanding for people who struggle with it, like I do with those who struggle with maths. However, my stepdaughter hates creative writing and I agree this would be a wonderful way to scaffold her writing skills.
ReplyDeletelove it. i need to find some time and make me one of these.
ReplyDeleteagain a tool i can see used in schools quite effectively.
