After my thesis presentation last week, I felt a strong sense of accomplishment and clarity. Being able to visually present my thesis through slides and talk through each part of the project allowed me to step back and really see how far I’ve come. There was something reassuring about watching all the pieces: Part I, Part II, and the developing Part III exist together in one space. It made the process feel real and cohesive, and it reminded me that even when progress feels slow, everything is, in fact, coming together.

Looking ahead, I still have some work to complete for Part III; however, the next phase will require careful revision and close attention to detail, especially as I begin revisiting mainly Part I, since Part II is the electronic literature piece. I’m starting to see how all three sections connect, not only structurally but thematically as well.

With a clearer vision for the project in mind, I created a master document and started shaping the memoir into a book format, carefully arranging each section and positioning key elements where they fit best. Building on the feedback and guidance I received, I also added essential components such as a foreword, table of contents, and a dedication page. I’m beginning to see the structure take form and the project come together, and I’m excited to soon begin designing its digital space as well.

Below is my outline for the next few weeks: 

• 4/14–4/20: Finish writing Part III & Revise Parts I, II, & III as needed. 
• 4/21–4/27: Design and format the book using Pressbook, Flipbook, Canva, WordPress
• 4/28–5/4: Finalize all revisions and edits; submit all work
