INTRODUCTION
Over the past year, I documented my path to these videos, a resumption of my 2014-15 video series Journey Through Twin Peaks - this ended when I published the first chapter a week ago. Here now is the path through the series, ensuring that it can be released over the spring and summer while I take care of a few other things as well. These steps are pretty self-explanatory; most are directly related to the creation of Journey but I also need to keep up with my monthly patron rewards, and I've decided to take a few weeks "off" before fully diving into Part 6 of the videos. During that time, I will build up a small backlog to carry me through the summer - another Mad Men viewing diary, plus repackaging some of my "Film in Focus" and/or "Twin Peaks Cinema" Patreon segments from the past two years as a brand new public podcast. Additionally, I'll take at least a week to do some behind-the-scenes work on my rebooted Twin Peaks character series, a project which will mostly be developed after these videos conclude.
Meanwhile, I will be publishing new posts at least once a week on this site. At first, these will go up every Wednesday and consist of either a video update of whatever chapters went up in the past week, my monthly patron podcast round-up, or a film review from my backlog. The Wednesday after Part 5 is fully published, I will post a full directory of all the videos in that part, as I did for the previous ones in 2014-15. When my Mad Men viewing diary is ready, I will publish a new episode write-up each Monday; at that point there will only be a Wednesday post when I need to round-up videos or podcasts. And after the viewing diary concludes, I'll return to the regular Wednesday schedule, at that point probably dominated by video updates (concluding, again, with a full round-up of Part 6 as well as perhaps a directory of both parts). (update 6/23: I've revised my approach to the weekly schedule, and also eliminated deadline dates from the following "Path")
In this Twitter thread, I will document the following steps even more closely, breaking down completion of tasks inside of the step as well. You can bookmark this post to check back periodically too. I will update each step to note when it is completed along the way. My hope is to wrap by the beginning of fall, but I won't be surprised if this takes longer. Enjoy the ride!

Except for step 21, the following steps - along with 3, 4 & 11 - will become part of a separate "Path" schedule in the fall.
This is described in my late summer update.
This involves personally reassembling and watching different story sections of the series independently of one another, re-watching the season 3 blu-ray special features and re-visiting both my own and other observers' coverage of season 3. Given the amount of research, which is hard to estimate, this is the step most likely to take longer than scheduled - possibly by as much as a week or two.
postponed until after step 21
14) revise & record narration for the rest of Part 6 (Chapters 38 - 47)
postponed until after step 21
15) edit Chapter 38: Far Away Places (New York & other isolated locations throughout)
postponed until after step 21
16) edit Chapter 39: The FBI Story (the Blue Rose task force in South Dakota)
postponed until after step 21
17) edit Chapter 40: Twin Peaks Dreams (the town)
postponed until after step 21
18) edit Chapter 41: Dougie in Vegasland
postponed until after step 21
19) edit Chapter 42: Mr. C's Wild Ride
postponed until after step 21
20) edit Chapter 43: The Search for the Zones (the mythology)
postponed until after step 21
21) create August patron podcasts (ep. 18 rewatch & main podcast episode)
completed August 30
(after steps 3 / 4 / 10 / 11 / 13 - 20 postponed)
22) edit Chapter 44: 3 Women (Diane, Sarah, "Judy")
(after steps 3 / 4 / 10 / 11 / 13 - 20 postponed)
Following this, I will edit a preview for Parts 5 and 6 (and perhaps for the whole series, along with a new page serving as directory for everything), as well as writing a follow-up to my two previous "creating Journey" essays. Then I will announce plans for future work, including perhaps a new form of Twin Peaks videos on a more ongoing basis, depending what viewers are interested in, among other factors.
