I write about my thoughts and experiences. Specifically, I write about my life stories, studies, and walks. Living, studying, and walking produce the first level of Intermediate packets, which are then converted into higher-level packets. All of these packets serve one thing: the creation of books.
Here are creative artifacts I want to produce
- Notes in forest garden of the mind: seeds, seedlings, and evergreens
- Photos
- Poems
- Newsletter updates about trying to pursue my calling as a contemplative and philosophically-inclined creative, while supporting myself through independent meaningful work.
- Essays
- Books (I want to create beautiful books that combine photographs, narratives, and poems, basically the artifacts I produce)
Here are the artifacts in different stages of my creative process.
Level 1
L1 IPs are the inputs captured through several inboxes (camera, journal, etc.). These inputs need to be processed. These IPs include:
- Unedited photos
- Journal entries
- Fleeting notes
- Unedited videos
- Unedited audios
Level 2
When L1 IPs are processed and storied, they become L2 IPs. These IPs are resources that are easily accessible and ready to be deployed for any projects. These IPs include:
- Edited photos
- Narratives
- Personal narratives
- Zettels
- Quotes
- Poems
- Translations
- Other drafts
- Outlines
- Edited videos
- Edited audios
Level 3
When L2 IPs are deployed to be used into projects, their synthesis create publishable (yet still intermediate) artifacts. These IPs include:
- Essays
- Personal essays
- Stories
- Poems
- Photo essays
- Newsletters
Level 4
The integration of L2 and L3 IPs create the ultimate publishable artifact in my life work:
- Books
I want to write and create beautiful non-fiction books that combine narrative, personal narratives, philosophy, culture, history, photos, quotes, prose, and translations.
My idea is to write several books that tackle the most important topics I care about that pieced together could illuminate the worldview I am building.
