0:00 Yeah, no, for sure. What is the writing process then? Because, again, that’s how I do things. I just sit and write it.

0:08 And I was the person, up until very, very recently, like 12 months, that wrote it like the day before, or like minutes before.

0:15 Like, okay, let’s do this! Okay, fast, fast, fast! Just because, It’s a jerk thing to say, but it was because I could, because it just, naturally, that’s just the way it worked for me, you know?

0:27 But over time, like I said, especially this year, trying to put together like a book and a project, I’m like, I can’t do this anymore.

0:34 Like, I have to kind of practice what I preach. I might need some process. What you typically do? Or what have you been told to do?

0:44 Or what do you know about that process? And let’s look at the essay first. Okay, so how do you, and I’ll just put an image up because it helps.

0:52 How do you start an essay? Okay. Um, it’s funny because I feel like I’m hearing a lot. Well, they give you the topic.

1:02 Do they, when you’re in school? Yeah. Okay. I’ll find the topic. Okay, or you brainstorm it. Or you start from where you want.

1:13 You know, it just depends. Then what do you I mean, me personally, I just kind of, when I’m done brainstorming, I just start writing.

1:23 Okay. Okay, So, I’m hearing formatting too. I just didn’t want to put them into numbers yet. So, what else? So I brainstorm and then what would be the next logical thing then?

1:51 Yeah. Yeah, it could be one and the same. It could. Research, find more, ID what I know. Okay? Then what?

2:14 We got that. How do you want to organize it? I’m sorry? Like organization maybe? Organize? So it goes into format.

2:25 And outline. Because like the outline is probably gonna organize. Okay. Outline, so you’re gonna start this whole organizing thing. But. Okay, so you’re taking this.

2:39 So basically you’re saying you’re taking this and you’re starting this. Like you figure out where to put it. Yeah. Okay.

2:45 Well. Kinda. I guess. I like this. I just write. Okay. What else? Just like if you’re someone else. Um. What else?

2:54 It’s from there like after the outline. I just kind of go off of what I wrote in the outline. Kinda like that in the blanks.

3:01 And you know right? What was it? Okay. First row. Okay. So you draft it. Okay. Then what after you draft it?

3:09 Revise. Edit. Um, is this completely on your own? Edit it. Peer edit. Like review. It’s like a whole part of the process.

3:22 See you, Okay. And then what? Okay. What was that? So this is like what you see all the time, right?

3:35 This process is not real. This is stamped on every book. Okay. So what about a website? Is anybody here to build a website?

3:49 No. I have a number. It’s tough. But think. So look at what you know what’s up there. It’s just a sample dashboard like landing page for a website.

4:06 Okay. About food. What features do you notice and then how do you think you begin if you had to build a website?

4:13 How do you start? What do I try? What do you want people to see? What’s your idea? Yeah. You gotta start with an idea or an idea or a topic.

4:23 Same thing that kind of brainstorming plays. Or maybe you are being assigned by your employer. Yeah. Okay. When I start to hear, I just look up.

4:35 Sorry. Okay. When I made my bookie link for like my business, I don’t want things that might go through like to make it easily to understand and it just- So you have like a content thing happening.

4:54 Content in terms of image versus word or like how, you know like, yeah what did you say? Summary. How do you mean- Like what do you mean summary?

5:07 Okay. Okay. General idea. I don’t know if that’s okay. Cause she’s saying that was like the booking. Right? What do you say?

5:21 Okay. Well it comes next. So you add what you- You have like an assignment topic or something you’re creating. You’re starting to think about the content that needs to go in there.

5:32 Then what? The- I guess the- how is it gonna function like what are- I guess because that means format? The time that’s in it?

5:43 Yeah, it was September 3rd. . I think template is a question. Are you gonna use one or build it from scratch?

5:51 You know? Yup. Okay. Then what? So I got my template to go with template. Then what? How is it gonna look?

5:59 What pictures are you gonna use? There you go, there you go. I have some of it. Then I pick a way to visualize it.

6:11 You start creating or building it, right? What’s you? Building, creating, like plugging in, maybe? Sometimes it’s dropping stuff in. Okay.

6:23 Then what? So now you got something semi-functional I would assume at this point. Where is it going to be accessible?

6:32 Like how are you going to get to the accessibility? Oh, I was going to say have someone look at it, which is already.

6:39 Oh, right. Accessibility. I’m going to call it usability. use it all day. It’s true. I would say like also like how are you going to familiar?

6:50 Yeah. In a way? Like conversation in a year? Circulation. Yep. And then what? After you see if it’s usable or somebody, you know I set at the bottom of every page of one.

7:05 One of the menu options is always facts, health, customer service, troubleshooting. What are your resources? That’s what this is. Because why?

7:15 Because why? Is it ever perfect? No. Do they make changes? Mmhmm. Absolutely. So then they, Yeah. I would say, Revise and prove based on usability, right?

7:28 And then publish. Okay. So now, look at that versus that. Are they the same? No. Mmhmm. Similar but, Very. They’re very similar.

7:43 What’s different? Don’t overthink it. Huh? You’re overthinking it already, huh? Trill. You probably should campus. On what the terms are all that’s really different.

8:01 This is pure review of that user test. This is reviewing by, another student. This is seeing if it’s accessible. This is creating and building that’s drafting.

8:13 You see what I’m doing? It’s very similar processes. You’re doing the same things but why pointed this out to you as a class that’s so multimodal.

8:21 It’s because this has been studied. Ready? It’s been, Documented. There’s statistics on it. Um that even if you’re explicitly doing these things and you can see them, great.

8:36 But you’re inherently doing them no matter what. It’s natural to go through this process no matter what. Even you’re saying you know somebody’s not telling you this is the writing process and this is what you’re inherently doing.

8:47 Every time you sit down. Even if somebody says okay you don’t have to do peer review you might you might be inclined to go ask a friend to read it or you might ask a parent or you might ask your boyfriend or girlfriend or whomever.

8:58 You know like hey can you look at that and you do these things because this is part of that process. 9:06 And not only because somebody always told you that because it is like an inherent way that we think and build.

9:11 It’s the same thing as I could have put. How do we create a piece of furniture? You’re going to go through the same thing.

9:21 It’s just how you create something out of nothing. That’s deep. So deep. So now with that, with all that fun like I said today wasn’t anything groundbreaking.

9:33 But some things we needed to talk about and I wanted to draw attention to sample projects one last time. You have a little bit of time if you need to stay and talk to someone or talk to me or get input from anybody.

9:43 Use less chance to be there before you go off to Megan tomorrow or send me emails over the weekend.
