Serial writing, realtime: 'PCKWCK'

       Tomorrow at 13:00 EST Book of Numbers-author Joshua Cohen is beginning a five-day live writing of "a reinterpretation of Charles Dickens' first serialized novel, The Pickwick Papers", PCKWCK.
       The official site promises:

Every day from 1pm-6pm EST visitors to www.PCKWCK.com will be able to watch Cohen write in real time, offer feedback that may affect the outcome of the novel, and talk with Cohen and other readers in a chat room.

       Presumably he already has something in mind, even some sort of outline, but it'll be interesting to see if readers can push him off course (or rather: onto another course).
