Choose Your Own Path: Start Here. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Not to follow in the footsteps of the masters, but to seek what they sought." --Japanese poet, Basho (qtd. in Ulmer)

This is a Web site created with hyperlinks so that the reader will be taken on a journey akin to a "Choose Your Own Path" book made famous in the '90s. It is called a mystory and is a modern-day replacement of using tattoos or constellations to tell a story. I began this as an assignment in a class called Rhetoric: Computers and Writing taught by Byron Hawk. We used the text Internet Invention by Gregory L. Ulmer to guide the class in a mystory project, or more simply put, a hypertext project. These are some scholars who have a lot to say about Ulmer: Edbauer, Dickson, and Kearney. Ulmer says that four main quadrants influence who we are: Career, Family, Entertainment, and Community.
