100 days of plotter
Dissertation
I have this incredible opportunity of spending the summer writing my dissertation with and through plotters, building my own plotter 😍, and setting myself up to never have to ask for a job again, but instead step into ever increasing satisfying and well-paying collaborations and projects.
PERIOD
Monday June 24, 2024 to Wednesday Oct 2, 2024
GOALS
1. Write a first draft of the dissertation
Outcome: 50K words draft of my dissertation
Platforms: cahiernoir.com + Overleaf + plotted zines
2. Make a plotted piece daily
Outcome: 100 pieces by Oct 2
Platforms: IG
3. Articulate my practice and vision
Outcome: shop with prints/notebooks/postcards/comics
Platforms: sketchbookplotting.com + Etsy store
WHY?
Because I need to transform into the artist and business owner I want to be. I have spent a lot of time letting others decide the direction of my life, shape its contours, orient its energy. Now I want to call the shots. I want to initiate and complete projects. I want to decide what the next move will be. I am ready to lead the dance. I am ready to take control of my boat.
CHALLENGES
It is not the first time I start such an endeavour. One thing that will keep me on track here is accountability: to an IG community, to my advisor. Perhaps have co-writing sessions with Hannah?
