As I continue on the process of working on my manuscript, for this week I am proceeding according to my planned thesis-progress-calendar (for the month of September). And so, this means working on/and strengthening the manuscript of my creative project. This being the case, I can share the following about my current progress.
Thanks to a class I took in summer, I was able to further work on my thesis project, after pausing the work at the end of Spring semester (thesis part-one course). In part-one, I spent a good deal of time in the planning stage, building a base for my project, crafting an outline, looking up at some references of other works relating to my proposed project, and even reading and researching other works. And over the summer, as I continued my progress, I started crafting the actual manuscript. In this short amount of time, I was able to write a solid introduction and exposition part of my creative project. Now in part-two of my thesis, I find myself again sailing the waters on this creative project.
As a way to start again the on my continuation, I focused this week on over-viewing, revising, and getting a good feeling of what my project is all about. When writing such a big project, it’s easy to lose track of what I’ve written already and the intentional meaning behind each part and section. Everything has to fall in place (atmosphere, events, characters, intentional message of the events, ect…), and everything must make sync together to make sense of this world I am creating here. In addition, I also, worked on some correction and editing of the work I been crafting (much of the introduction and exposition).
Speaking of the word I’ve written and carefully crafter so far, my introduction if based on the following. I started it off with putting great focus on the characters, setting, environment, and the major conflict that will be presented throughout the story. I made sure to introduced many of the important characters and showcase some of their personality traits. The intention for this was to help build the setting and story ambient. Then I moved on to what’s the beginning of my exposition for my story, by having the protagonist embark on his journey and goal, which is partly to find his family during a time of pandemic (where a deadly virus has taken over the country). In order to maintain a clear story progression, all the events are told in the style of scenes, where each one focuses on a specific event, progress, character development, and accumulation of facts and information.
