First of all, there's more of the current chapter posted. If you want to read the chapter, \"(At This Moment of) The World,\" from the beginning, you can go here<\/A>. If you've read everything up to now, you can go here<\/A>.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned here<\/A>, I bought a new domain when it seemed somebody might be buying this one. So, now I have a second domain, utownwriting.com<\/A>.<\/p>\n

Shame to let it go to waste, so now I'm going to use it. I set up a blog over there (also WordPress, of course, with a different theme), and I'm going to see to what extent the WordPress software can be modified to present actual fiction (which I don't want to do here, except for the few \"deleted scenes\" and so on, which are clearly labeled).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I decided to post some of my favorite cut-ups over there, to start seeing how the site can work. I looked up \"cut-ups\" on wikipedia, to see what sort of description might be there (so I wouldn't have to write my own), and the page on \"cut-ups\" took me directly to \"mash-ups<\/A>,\" which is a similar idea, but for music (and which doesn't even mention that the practitioners of those styles might have got the idea from somewhere else).<\/p>\n

I went to the page on William S. Burroughs<\/A>, and that led me to \"cut-up technique<\/A>,\" which is about literary cut-ups, which is what these are.<\/p>\n

I used to do these fairly regularly. I will post my ten favorite ones.<\/p>\n
