Short story in spreadsheet form

By at 9:49 am Tuesday, Mar 31


David Nygren sez, "A few weeks ago I Tweeted an idea about writing a novel in an Excel spreadsheet. The Tweet got a reaction. At the link, I've posted the first draft of a 'short storyspreadsheet' called 'Under the Table.' I've turned on Track Changes and am asking readers to help me out with edits/suggestions and send their own version of the Excel file back to me."
