week of oct 12

 part of me wants to work on the film school writing, connecting with children, which means I will need to search for those books in my office

I am also working on the connections between pieces, which means doing full inventory on poster board

 

Week of oct 6

 Work on Kansas movies

Work on Labyrinth

make something special

 I want to convey the thrill of going to the movie theaters like the thrill of reclaiming one's life from abuse. This also means not allowing people to mistreat you. 

 I put together how the healer archetype joins the outcase archetype to create the wounded healer.

how archetypes might relate to genres and their psychological need-giving

comedy >> the fool >> trickster

the magician >> those transforming movies, to change the world around them, move through the spellmaking of film

 

poetry as spellcasting >> is see the liminal in everything that is ritual, how the trickster resides there, too, in order for change to happen

 

  

Wounded healer archetype

 The wounded healer archetype in Good Will Hunting, he's wounded by Will's words and then he realizes that will hasn't had the experiences that he's talking about, that the wounded healer archetype and then draw on his experiences to help the wounded. The Healer archetype is a set of the same attributes, but the wounded healer can draw on their own personal woundedness and knowing that out of the selflessness to help others to try to actually also heal themselves and also heals themselves. But it's not egotistical to heal oneself it's the wound that makes a deep empathy that you not want other people to suffer as you have. The wounded healer has taken the time to heal themselves from healer archetypes then can become the wounded healer for others

why the plan is only a plan

 Today, I was sluggish in writing about the outsider. Luckily, I had a book On Belonging by Kim Samuel, which devotes a chapter to the Hero's Journey. I get that aha moment, that the HJ is about leaving safety for change, that social isolation is a feeling. It coincides with needing to select my books for Fantasy. So in Fantasy, the HJ shows us we are not alone, even when going to Mordor.

 I then went to my Labrynth writing, to also mention how Sarah's lonliness was through gaslighting

Then I went into domestic violence writing and I was on a roll!  

Leaning into the outcast

 I caught myself wanting to write about the different syllabi I've had with film classes, but then I realized that's another book. I want to concentrate on the healing self-care transformative part.

So now I'm leaning into the outsider, the outlier, the outcast

I'm also leaning into bad movies and how you can love some

I'm guessing in October I'll switch over to the horror genre in examining why people love horror movies

Memoir like ghosts
