The concept of a living novel...

Okay so here's a thought...

When we think of literature we think of literature as that for which we read and enjoy.  John Milton spoke about this in his poem "Il Penseroso" the man alone in his tower with the great store of books reading into the dark twilight hours with our imaginations on the loose.

Well, that's all fine and dandy, but this is a new age.  This is the 21st Century...isn't it?  Let me just make sure--Yes, this is the 21st Century folks.  So what does that mean?

Well, for one, that time marches forward.  Time marches on.  Time leads us to new ideas.  Our TV shows have become interactive.  Our music...well not so much but sort of.

So...this may not be a new idea to some, but I believe I will try it.  I think it's possible to make an E-novel come alive in the hands of the readers.  A living novel that is as much a part of the discussion as the readers are.  Author and audience working in tandem...why not?

heading home after a long day.
Well, I believe I'll take up the challenge and see what happens.

Wish me luck as I head out on this highway to see what new adventures may come my way.
