Was very surprised to see this in the mail. For one, I didn’t know who it was from – the red envelope didn’t give away much in terms of information. For another, it had originally been posted to the W!ld Rice office – which kukubird would think I live there!, was my original musing.
The only possible give-away about where the envelope had originated from was the redirection of the envelope from the office to my home address (blurred for privacy). But even that didn’t say much, so I decided to give up deconstructing the envelope and its contents, and opened it to find…
…my invite to the 9th Straits Times Life! Theatre Awards 2009. Sweet.
But it’s a pity cos I can’t go for it; even though I normally have work then, I’ll be undergoing minor surgery on that day and at that time, hence my no-show.
Have updated the Creative Works portion of my wiki, so all are free to go and read/check out the latest works. You’re welcome to muck around inside too – play with the text if it’s there, transfer the text from PDF to the wiki if you want to, create your own works, etc.
The rationale for this is simple:
- I’d like to get user feedback as I’m writing. The best way for this is to use a wiki. I know most people haven’t used one before, so don’t worry – I’ll create a simple ‘lesson plan’ soon. (Alternatively, anyone who’s bored can create one for me. Whee for wikis!)
- User engagement = business strategy. By involving the audience, I’m (hopefully) engaging them, in the hope that this translates to establishing a solid fan base + customer loyalty. Will this work? It remains to be seen, but I’m hopeful, as you can tell from my repetition of the word in most of its forms.
- Last but not least, if mucking around in the dirt results in someone else becoming interested in writing, or at least learning about writing, then it’s one more starfish into the sea, no? 🙂
