indeas draft 02
New beginnings present fresh possibilities, so does the next batch of texts planned. Not all plans get completely implemented, hence ideally a plan becomes a sketch of a model vision. Making it an agenda of sorts after the index, subsequently tying in some stray concepts which fell over, a task is formulated to look at the previous writing plan and audit how much was done. With those which didn’t make it, bring them over and make a new list, preferably starting over again. A new plan is in principle built from the old. A key learning from the previous session was writings generated which revolved around projects and working ideas. With this knowledge, texts are planned to serve assignments or act as thought frames to work in other possibilities over time. Again it’s not necessary that all are individual writings, they can either be grouped together, spread over a series of posts or just moved over to the next session [every 100 posts is proposed as one writing session]. Each item in the list is of two parts, first the planned title to the text and second, a brief description of contents. For most instances, purpose to this frame is to lock in key ideas that need closure, more specifically act a project notes of larger assignments. As of this writing there are seven working broad ideas. Objective, mostly an aspiration, is to use the session to tie these in some capacities within the constraints.
