Lucas Ritchie-Shatz: Learning/Work/Documentation Plans

Goals

  • Become proficient in Twine (the program I am using to write my story)
  • Become more experienced in web-based art/writing
  • Improve my writing skills, particularly in sustaining a large project and maximizing accessibility in a web format

Timeline

My general idea for my plan is that between 4/6 (or 4/12 if I start my project then) through 5/3, I will work on drafting my story, writing and creating images or other multimedia elements as I go. Between 5/4 and 5/13, I will work on revising and working out any technical issues I have, while also getting feedback from trusted mentors. Between 5/14 and 5/23, I will begin to polish my story, showing it to more people for feedback on accessibility. I work better when I have a set schedule so here is my plan for what I will do each day:

  • 10 am: Wake up
  • 10 am – 10:30: Get ready and eat breakfast
  • 10:45 – 1:45: Go to a cafe and work
  • 1:45 – 2:45: Lunch
  • 2:45 – 4:45: Free period (go to a museum, see a movie, see friends, etc)
  • 4:45 – 7:00 : Return to cafe and work
  • 7 pm: Go home and finish working for the day

Documentation

I plan to write an artist statement to accompany my work, and perhaps include some of the outlining work or other preparatory materials if I feel they are relevant. I also think I would like to create a bibliography of works that inspired me or that heavily influenced my story.  I will write these during the polishing stage, and additionally keep a journal of my work as I go to document my process and difficulties.
