War Prayers began as an idea for a hypertext novel in the fall of 2004. Inspired by what I learned in
Dr. Scott Rettberg's senior seminar on Post Modernism I began to write constrained, 300 word, segments on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings. These segments were posted online as a series of blog posts. In December of 2004, disgusted with another stolen election and the completion of yet another toxic semester of college, I finished the initial groups of segments I had planned and closed the blog.
I continued to outline ideas and occasionally write segments for when I decided to return to the project. In the Fall of 2007
War Prayers came back to life online. I have attempted to keep it "as is" to preserve the moment in which it was written.
This is a work in progress. Some things may not work and links may not go anywhere yet. Bear with me. Readers interested in following my day to day posting can do so on my blog.
