Note about my memoir

Just a drop a few notes about what I would like to achieve

This won't be a memoir that seeks revenge on anyone. I've seen people advertently or inadvertently writing to somehow get back at someone and that will never work.

This won't be a memoir that describes the trauma as much as it covers how going to the movies can be healing. In other words just like trauma-informed care, it helps those who have been traumatized but also benefits everyone. That going through trauma is in a deficit.

Wystan says put in a good word for me

I'm not going to cover everything. There are just some things that are best Kept Within a family or privately.

That's it this is not an autobiography. A Memoir takes selected things and make some mashup of how they are connected. Or that there's Simply Connected because you put them together.

I'll definitely be referencing the book body work because I like how she puts and changes things into different povs

why women's and gender studies

I know with the current abolishment of DEI, it is difficult to explain to people why such a concept exists. It's not a concept, but a reality.

Just like having ADHD, it both doesn't and does matter.

The nuance to be able to accept something which seems a contradiction in terms means getting away from either/or logical fallacies.

the fact that I learned women's and gender studies first-hand before taking any class about it

pop-up poetry workshop

Part of me would like to just rest and work on my book during the sabbatical, but the other part loves doing workshops--especially in differnet places one wouldn't find one. Without classes, this seems the perfect time to do it.

Plan to reach out to movie theaters and coffeehouses where there aren't theaters.
