Please write an informal outline for and description of your Chapbook plans here. A Chapbook is a personal book containing creative and meaningful material. Yours will probably emerge as you go along, but at least try to envision here what you would like for it to become. The more details you provide here, the easier it will likely be for you to get started.

My chapbook is going to be about my biggest hobby, film. I will outline my favorite films, script writers, cinema through the years, different types of cinema, my films, and what i think the future of cinema will be. My chapbook will have everything from my own concept art to some of my actual movie trailers and short films. My chapbook will have all different kinds of media including writing, drawing, video, and audio. This should be interesting...

To be honest here, I haven't a clue what to write about. I might do things on Games as its my biggest hobby. But other then that, i don't know. It doesn't seem like it would be enough since I have no career in games. Maybe some kind of large review of the games I've played over the years and how they effected me? Stuff like this is the kind of stuff I'm not to fond of writing about.

my chapbook is gonna be about music. I have had a passion for music since i was about the age of 10. Alot of times, i use music as a way to relate my problems with the words in the songs. I feel that music can be a healing/soothing factor. In my chapbook, i will discuss different artists and how they relate their own personal experiences to their music. I also will discuss how music and artists have evolved. I will include songs that i have personally related issued to and how these songs have helped me. I have written a couple little pieces here and there and will include them in my chapbook. I basically want to share my love of music and how it helps me with everyone else.

I am toying with the idea of writing my chapbook on my constant need/search to be a part of something. i.e. teams, clubs, family, and how these things have affected my daily life and my current career plans.

Introduction: Overview of my life

Team sports in high school (leadership)

College (understanding, diversity)

Family and Friends
(culture, respect, love)

current career goal: Highway Patrol
(combination of all things learned, taught, experienced)

Conclusion

*Its a little on the rough side but will expand after some more thought.

I would like my chat book to be an collection of my interests. There will me many pictures and possibly some embedded videos. Some of my topics that i cover, with more on the way, would be a quick look at my history, music that i like and why, movies that i have greatly enjoyed and my opinions, some of my favorite games, a background on personal sports and sports im interested in, im am also going to cover my interest in photography. Im hoping to make this a compilation of what makes me who i am and might give me a better idea of where i will go in the future. I will cover some of my favorite subjects which i have always had questions and ideas.

JR said...

So what is my chapbook going to be about? Really I don't have a clue. Maybe something like "A Day in the Life of a Bachelor?" I can discuss my daily routines like going to work and school full-time, dealing with the music industry, studio sessions, extra-curricular activities on the weekends, oh and long weekend nights! Yeah maybe something like that. Sounds like a plan.

1. Introduction
2. What its is
3. Pros
4. Cons
5. Security
6. Criminals
7. Government
8. Terrorism
9. War
10. Economy
11. Business
12. Education
13. Conclusion

I think that network security is a wide and interesting topic that I like to learn about daily. I want to help prevent attacks on us by people trying to corrupt our systems in place and be able to do it efficiently. My chapbook is going to have some very interesting things in it such as how network security affects everyone’s lives whether they know it or not. I will also have plenty of useful information about the topics listed. I think that I will be able to make this book easily because there is vast amount of information that I can talk about relating to my subject.

I'm still at a serious loss for a concrete idea, but I have a few in mind. I have decided that whatever is the "core" of my book will be based on questions...answering them, that is! I've always thought of myself as a humorist, so I do want this to be amusing. Not gut-busting funny, but funny in that "Weird, I've felt the same way!" sense.

I'm going to try my hardest to keep my chapbook from becoming some kind of corny Dane Cook comedy novel (because when you think about it, he is not really that funny) or some kind of bitter Foamy The Squirrel rant. I just want to try and provide answers to some of the questions (most of which are not really important, but we are still craving answers to) that we have buried in the back of our subconscious, but in my own way.

Or maybe I should keep this idea, but aim it towards a specific genre of questions. Like, if I were to write some musings about, I don't know, the quirky mysteries of female behavior, like why most of us are willing to buy a pair of shoes that are two sizes too small, if they're really cute, or why some of us girls apply mascara with our mouth open. See? Things that we might not particularly care too much about, but would appreciate the knowledge of!

You know what, I guess that sounds like a good idea. Not very original, but I think I could make the topic interesting. And, I'd like to go deeper and even try to think with a male mind. Wait, that's not possible, never mind.

Jealousy
I believe that jealousy is one of the world’s biggest faults. I say the world and not mankind for a reason. I had a dog that would get upset and frustrated if I would show my other dog more attention than him. I know people become angry over the success of others. This is so profound in the world that urban culture has grown to call jealous individuals by another name, Haters.

Jealousy
I. Examples of jealousy everywhere
A. Jealousy among humans
B. Jealousy in life
II. Reasons for jealousy
A. What jealousy can lead to
B. How long has it been around?

At this point in time, I really have no clue what to center my chapbook around. I suppose I can just write about my life and past experiences and see what comes of it. I have seen a lot of places, some of which most people have never heard of, so perhaps I can bring something out of that. My life is currently quite boring, but also complicated. I have no ambitious goals. I just really want to succeed at whatever I try, and to be a good mother. My children are the most important things in my life, so everything I do revolves around them.

My blog is going to be about my experience at ecpi. For the past two years ecpi has been my life. I'm going to explain the ups and downs of my college career and life around ecpi. College is very hard for some people and for others its a breeze.

Im thinking about submitting something along the lines of how the rising cost of education is making it difficult for students in need of financial aid to enroll in college.

“Moving to Mars”
The world is not enough. Seriously. Visiting countries from England to Japan has been exhilarating. I can say that I’ve enjoyed it at times. The many cultures and ethnic backgrounds that have populated this planet called Earth, have been an influence. From the Egyptians to the Romans, Samurai to the Japanese Yakuza. Either it (as in history) has been documented since life began, or simply made up to “sugar-coat” our happy little lives. I understand what has been taught, yet to truly know it all, would be to dig so deep that Satan would complain on space.
As I said, the world is not enough. Granted, life has been sweet in some areas. Whether it is the “sensual, purring cat-like characters of women” or the many challenges & struggles that have improved my personality traits and perspectives towards society and myself. The ladies I love, the music I enjoy, yet there are still avenues to view that people without potential will never see. I’m talking about space… the galaxies. People dream and idolize themselves through space, yet unless you’re N.A.S.A. or Superman, you haven’t been past the atmosphere. Traveling the galaxies rather the globe would suffice.

I suppose It could include some of my favorite photos and explain about them and maybe a story about them, possibly a section about my equipment, my knowledge and maybe a wish list chapter, maybe a chapter about a beautiful place I want to escape to and photograph.
something like this.
1. introduction me, sp's / experience
2. photos/ stories / about
3. what I use/ equipment
4. wish list
5. the escape...
