This course has been insightful in broadening my awareness of the intersections between writing and technology. Specifically, it allowed me to learn the many ways that technology is being used to create new forms of writing altogether in addition to enhancing existing writing. As an author, technology has been a boogeyman. We have blamed technology for the death of the book and the end to many traditional authors’ dreams. It has also allowed for an increase in piracy. However, there have been plenty of positive contributions. New technology has made it easier than ever for writers to share and self-publish their works. E-books have also made reading more portable and accessible than ever. Perhaps the greatest contribution is the new forms that technology has created. Now, authors can tell their stories in ways that are more interactive than ever. Before this class, I never knew about platforms like Twine or authors like Nick Montfort. Yet, these types of electronic literature can allow writers to achieve things they could not otherwise. For example, it is now possible to easily create interactive fiction work, without any coding knowledge, that allows readers to make their own choices and reach several endings thanks to Twine. Video games, such as The Sims 4, allow storytellers to create videos and movies with limited equipment and zero human actors. Thus, while technology has changed writing in some ways, it has also democratized it in many others. Advanced Writing with Technology has shown me that technology has only increased my options as a writer, and I will continue to explore the possibilities in the future. I especially look forward to further playing with the narrative potential of Twine and other game platforms.
