I'm writing my paper for the AoIR conference. The process has been somewhat daunting - everytime I look at my proposal, I experience something akin to what Liz describes as writer's amnesia.
What the hell was I thinking when I wrote this thing?
I have a feeling the final version (personal deadline: draft due tonight) is going to look remarkably different from my proposal. My outline sure looks different.

As it should ;)

See:
quote>
The textual bars might be less transparent than the lines of text on a page, but they remained nonetheless.
There is a wonderful allusion to escape through time in the sentence: the textual bars remained. The tense is highly suggestive. If they remained, do they still remain? The nature of experience affects future interaction with an artefact or a series of artefacts. Immersion, interaction, immersion, interaction. Not an either-or but a series of positions.
Was that where the thinking was leading?

I am thinking through issues of reader(player)/author(developer) relationships, but was not doing so explicitly in terms of power...
Hmm. More to mull over...
