Cunematography

 How I have seen Topeka, how I've seen my life, how I've practiced to pay attention, how poems have helped me to pay attention, how I've started learning to love the Prairie, but how I still love where movie theaters are

Other film terms

 Audience, something similar to writing, in that question, who is your audience? It's why narrowing down focus on the subject is important, why the title of a book reflects that subject, and then why someone would be opening the book to find something about that subject. That people are reading the book I'm writing tells me I've already won them over in some way. But it's also the audience like in the movie theater, how can you win everyone over into how the engagement should be done?

Like I like mixed forms so it was perfect to have a mixed form in my memoir, but that won't win everyone over.

Editing, talk about the naropa approach, how poetry can be through generative practices, but also editing as in ADHD. People won't be self-editors for ableist views.

Back matter

 Include all of those academic definition things in the back of the book. The Memoir itself should be driven by the vulnerability and experiences while dipping into the needed Concepts. But if I show something like I did in Eureka springs, defining the trickster, it's going to turn the audience away. Can't rush huge leaps of Concepts unless someone is willing to engage, but we engaged on the deeper level with storytelling and metaphors. The experiences themselves help us engage with others because they are non-academic.

Good memoir advice

 On pages 129 and 1:30 in dear writer

How when discussing things about vulnerability and breaking the fourth wall intimacy, that the sharing has to also be deeply human. How to innovate push the envelope Trust oneself. How to enact waves of grief while making a sensitive leaps of memory in the narrative

Table of contents

 Part have me wants to develop the table of contents, looking at Deer writer by Maggie Smith, it's genius that she has the contents laid out with different aspects of creativity and then can have the subchapters do their work on how it applies to that.

I'd like to even try the different elements of film, like lighting, mesonsin, actors,

Another idea is that I could take the different aspects of the trickster. But I'm not as excited about that as thinking of taking different aspects of film to write about movies and poetry with. Ways to think about my life to. Definitely actors would include the trickster. It could also include persona.

A fragment from p42

"From a film not as much about plot as character"

Poems led me to community

Also, the metaphor of film is we each can be different people in a way each of us only can be

Art depends on the viewer to make meaning
