This Final will function in the same way as my previous, Yukon Art School blog, If You Rise From The Ashes. I will write everything I think is worthy of note, thus this place will function both as my notebook and as the rough draft and as the final, and all of these intermingled. So, to make it readable, I will use a variety of styles, codewords and other such things; these will differenciate the different sections. This concept emerges from my artistic style, which makes sparing use of erasers the same way as I do not like to delete my sentences when composing e-mail; I let the words flow from my mind to the computer, to make the conversation more seamless, and perhaps allow me to use sarcasm more overtly.

[Edit: sections added to a finished post to rectify or add information will be bracketed, bolded and preceded by the code Edit:] 

Post Titles followed by the bracketed [On] - such as this one -  are ongoing and will contain information compiled over time.. These posts do not follow my usual blog writing style, which is all-inclusive and time stamped. The point is so that readers know that these posts change over time and the ideas represented within them are a resume of other posts and not a part of the essay writing narrative that I want to address.

Small, Italic text represents forethought, the internal preparatory thought process that goes before the writing of my actual points. Similar to the way I dislike erasers, and deleting, this is the nebula of often meaningless or irrelevant data that feeds through my cortex, prepping me to write. I plug in to the blog, writing down thoughts as I think them, and from that raw data, the text emerges. In If You Rise From The Ashes I did not delimit this text, which resulted in huge single-font blocks often pages long, and nigh impossible to wade through. Now I give the reader the option to skip through this text by making it small and unimportant looking. NB: Not wanting to pry is noble, but not caring enough to let others talk when they wish to do so is not.

"Quotes": will always be marked, underlined, and linked to the source article, if such was found online, and will additionally either be indicated as such in context, or will be followed by (author, page) if it is a print article. I may decide, If there are a lot of online notes, to only write down the important ones in the bibliography, and simply link the mundane ones that were found and quoted in a hurry. This I did in my last essay, and it was quite handy for me. In the case of print publications, they will ALWAYS be sourced in the bibliography.

Bibliographies will use MLA formatting style, to the best of my understanding. This is not a particularly important attribute in my books, but is a great source of clarity. Also, I will not refrain from accessing and taking information from online user-edited sources like wikipedia, though these will be traced back to the source article used by the wikipedia user, and both will be sourced. Or, if Karen so desires, only the original article will be present. Bibliographies will be written down in their own posts, labelled as such: " Bibliography; Week X [On] " Each week from now to the end will have the sources used in the respective weeks, with possible overlap.

Also, Entries will be classified weekly. This one is from week one.

-Just So You Know:

Use Of Caps To Demarcate Important Statements is a reference to tvtropes, compiled by basement dwellers everywhere to provide humourous deconstruction of virtually every piece of fiction that exists. (Though I've only looked at tv shows, video games and movies) It's quite fun to zoom through. I suppose that when I do this I'm trying to suggest that whatever is demarcated in this way is an Established Concept, that is, an entry in their website. I may, of course, be using sarcasm, satirizing a pre-established concept, acutally referencing a trope... Teacher's Nightmare apparently, or Maybe Not.
