[-empyre-] thanks and farewell

[Sue Thomas <Sue.Thomas@dmu.ac.uk>]

Thanks everyone for a very interesting discussion. It has been useful to
hear digital artists discussing writing. 

If you're interested to know more about how writers themselves are reacting
to the opportunities of the digital environment, I'd like to direct you to
the following websites. Some of them are connected with my own work, whilst
others are highly recommended.

Writing and the Digital Life
A collaborative transdisciplinary blog and listserv about the impact of
digital technologies upon writing and lived experience. We talk about
writing and reading in the context of 'new and old' media, transliteracy,
craft, art, process and practice, social networks, cooperation and
collaboration, narrative and memory, human computer interaction,
imagination, nature, mind, body, and spirit. http://writing.typepad.com

Online MA in Creative Writing & Technology
This new online Master's at De Montfort University is designed for writers
interested in exploring the potential of new technologies in their writing
via a combination of online study with a week-long Residential Workshop in
the UK. http://writing.typepad.com/cwt/

Writer Response Theory
A blogging collective dedicated to the discussion and exploration of digital

textual responses as output. http://wrt.ucr.edu/wordpress/
