Ik ben op zoek naar uitleg over de term 'poioumenon'. Het betekent
'work in progress'.

Volgende informatie heb ik gevonden via google, maar is nogal vaag:

 * poioumenon is afkomstig van het grieks (van 'poiew' wat 'maken'
betekent) en betekent iets als 'gemaakt wordend'.

 * '"Laurence Sterne's seminal Tristram Shandy (1760-7) initiated a
new form, the work-in-progress fiction or poioumenon. This is less
concerned to imitate an action performed by characters than to follow
the thought of a single character writing about it.'

 * 'The poioumenon [or work-in-progress novel] may be an obscure idea
in modern print literature, but many web forums and pages exist for
the purpose of exhibiting and commenting on works in progress.'
