showing the craft process as part of the publication process

Even though I'm only in the second semester of the MFA in Creative Writing and Publication Design program, I've already started to think about the final project. I knew intuitively that I wanted to do something digital or web-based.

One idea that I have now is that I'd like to show the editing process (by showing pdfs of drafts of my work), and include audio components as well as visual. I have no idea how to do any of this at the moment, but hopefully my current level of intrigue will keep me from punking out.

  1. Well, at least you have a PLAN.

    In reference to editing, the multimedia approach seems pragmatic. Given, of course, that a reader won't hear, mid-draft, "I'm watching you there, reading my work. Better like it."

    How'd you install that nifty playlist there? I tried for about an hour but couldn't find the spot to paste the HTML.

  2. Under the layout tab, i believe you get the option to "add a gadget." Select 3rd party html code. It'll yield a box for you to paste the code into. that should do it. If that doesn't work, I can show you in class on Monday. It's possible I'm forgetting to mention a step...

    Thanks for the feedback!
