Modules

I have created weekly modules for myself as a roadmap to accomplish my ILC objectives. I will use this framework weekly to post to my site and share all that I am working on. This area is a little vulnerable to share since it is my notes to myself – but this quarter I will lay it all out!

Module Guide

1. Free write:

o Jot down everything, stream of consciousness, get experiences and thoughts from head to paper.

o This is designed to get information onto the paper and documented before it is forgotten

o Highlight information to catalog
o This will be used to pull story ideas from.

2. Catalog: You won’t use all of the information you gather. Organize it anyway for reference now and later. o Contacts
   o Experiences
   o Publications
   o Information
   o Notes/Ideas
   o Bibliography
   o Websites, books, authors o Tours Use Zotero and Notes on computer, look through this weeks notes and writing and transfer it all to these applications a few times a week so it doesn’t become overwhelming.
3. Writing Practice: This is where you pull ideas and writing out of your free writes, or new ideas and begin a piece of writing to ultimately publish.

o Choose and idea or concept from free writes, IG posts, updates to family and culinary journal.

o Look at writing protocol (from WOW) and use steps to create thesis, audience etc.

o Begin writing process
OR
o Continue revising a piece already begun

4. Instagram: Have fun with this. Post by using your pics to guide you. Relax, no pressure, share your excitement. Play around with posts, reels and stories.
5. Art Expression: This is a time to let your mind wander, to ponder thoughts and concepts while your hands are creating. Allow yourself to just start with something without worrying what it is. o Personal Journal o Ephemera o Paint o Needlepoint o Multi Media
6. Word Press Structure: This is where you post your work from 1-5. Follow each step.
   1. Culinary Travel Journal: This is where you will share small blurbs about your experience with pictures. Keep this simple, doesn’t need to be fancy, larger storying will come out of this. This is to share the experience that can turn into creative writing pieces. This is where you mention ins and outs and facts – oleotourism, MOT’s. Play with your voice here, your audience wants to know your experience, where you went, what you learned and what you think is interesting.
   2. Art Expression: Use this space to share some of your art. Don’t stress about this, it will show the process of using art to work through concepts in an alternate way. This is where you shed and heal educational trauma. Be kind to yourself and enjoy the process without worrying about outcome. The act itself is the lesson.
   3. Process: This is where you keep track of what you planned and how it works/doesn’t and where you pivoted. This is for you to look back at a picture of how your mind works – the process of the adventure. You don’t need to know how to do this, you are making it up as you go and jotting it down as you go. o How did this week go?
      o What did you plan?
      o What worked/didn’t work?
      o What would you adjust/keep the same? o What was fun?
   4. Writing to Publish: This is a place to record the process and thoughts and feeling of writing to publish. Keep this simple, it is a window into how you went about it as well as notes for you to learn from documenting your experience. o List publications you’re interested in submitting to and why
      o Find and post your audience, voice.
      o Post drafts and outlines – some that worked some that didn’t. o Workshopping experience o Any one you reached out to for help.
      o Choose one by week 5 and go forward with that.
   5. Instagram: Copy and paste Instagram stories and pics here *look at notes from Bridget about the IG information on email
7. Cadiz Work: May 9 – 5 This time you will choose a story to publish and workshop it with mentors, teachers, authors, writing center. * Look up/List publications * Contact mentors * Research networking/Writing workshops for collaboration. * UtilizeWritingCenter * Research process of submission to publish.
