inventory

 Note I hit the wrong button that made some of this wording Google searches. Please ignore such links! Drats

I feel at the time of taking inventory on what is written

 I realized I could have a "choose your own introduction"

 or they are the beginnings to sections

 I think this book will be an examination through the genres at least part of it will

REVISIONS: make sure traumatic things are in third-person, or write in the third person 

 What I see is that genres, I see the ritual of different seasons, I see using different elements of how a film comes together, and I see the things about my jobs as well as the Vietnam War

NOTE: none of the go-to's will end, it will be a cycle of choice

 NOTE: I want to stay a morning in my office typing up entries or discovering movie tickets from my journals >> let the entries be on their own

THE INTENTION IS NOT TO HURT OR BLAME ANYONE 

STAY ON THE TOPIC OF HEALING 

Note: it's about looking for the liminal where safety and belonging are, so change can happen so action can happen

Note: write this like you're writing to your dear friends, right at like you're writing it to Jericho
