Macros: Thirty Days Project

More than a creative challenge, the 30 days project now presents technical challenges. Because of my low tech, I first create, then publish on Ecademy, then cut and paste here. I am sufficiently new to this that I don't have the tech down to do this easily. The simplest thing to do is to abandoned the Thirty Days blog and just keep this blog. More elegent thing to do is to figure out a way to use the macro software I downloaded, although I am not convinced this will do the trick. I also have to start writing these poems earlier. As it is, I come down to the wire. Posted about 10 minutes before midnight tonight, for example.

Anyway, about the macros. I have thought for some time that a good sci fi story would be about a guy in the near future who makes macros for a living, macros that do very complex things. After a while, he has too many macros and at the same time wants a new challenge. So he creates a macro that controls all the macros. Then, I Robot-like, the macros take over.
Ah, this sort of thing's been done!
