DOCTOROW BACK WITH ALWAYS BLACK
|
The multi-talented Jeffrey Gomez (co-winner of the 2005 Second Life Game Developers contest) has concocted a scheme to bring an unofficial chapter of National Novel Writing Month-- a marathon contest to write 50,000 words of a novel in November-- into Second Life. To add some firepower to that wildly ambitious project, he's bringing NWN pal Cory Doctorow back in-world to host a virtual workshop and pep-talk, and partnering up with the esteemed folks at Always Black, perhaps best known for spearheading the New Games Journalism movement.
Full details at Gomez's Second Life Writing Wiki here.
Always Black, by the way, has an in-world library that houses their writing and artwork, which is worth a visit if only for the striking design of the building itself. Resident architecture critic Chip Poutine has a write-up of the space on his blog, Virtual Surbubia, right here.
