Writing as life. Too much theory about hypertext has been about how to read it, about the damned readers. About navigation, or usability. Too little has been written about writing hypertext. How to write it, why write it, what writing it might be like or how it differs. Perhaps there's an assumption that it's easy to write hypertext but hard to read? Which would be deserving of consideration in itself, and is certainly how naive readers (for instance students) first respond to things like Storyspace and reading Storyspace based hypertext work. And so writing as an accretive stochastic system? Of course.
