Hey, about out to an interactive fiction dude/dudette!

I programmed in TADS many years ago, but I want to learn and use inform, because I want a Z-code game like my timeless heroes at Infocom.

I'm not really into writing interactive fiction; I just tried it a little since it seemed neat. It turns out that I'm not great at coming up with things to write about, which makes it hard to actually write. Inform 7 makes some decisions that complicate using it with a programming background; I'm considering trying to write my own language for similar purposes (but different paradigms).
