UPDATE TO INTRO (JULY 25, 2024):
I am now planning to resume work on Journey Through Twin Peaks in the midst of finishing the written TWIN PEAKS Character Series and Lost in Twin Peaks podcast, rather than waiting until they (and further video projects) are done.
INTRO
When I concluded my public film writing and podcasts in October 2023, I decided it was time to re-present the consistently-updated list of priority projects which I'd used to track my progress for two years. The steps (or obstacles) to resuming my Journey Through Twin Peaks video series have been simplified and streamlined, limited mostly to two other big Twin Peaks projects - the Lost in Twin Peaks public podcast and the TWIN PEAKS Character Series. From this point forward, the only regular monthly distraction will be my exclusive $5/month tier rewards (the $1/month rewards are simply advance entries from the character series). I am debating working on two other video projects before Journey, partly as a warm-up, and will definitely have a handful of Twin Peaks conversations both on my own platform and on others'. You can also hear more about my publication schedule in this video (embedded at the end of this post as well) and follow my progress in a new Twitter thread.
Here are the projects in rough order of priority (although I will work on several simultaneously), with further details and the most up-to-date information on each...
1) concluding Lost in Twin Peaks public podcast
PAUSED on Mystery/Cooper/Subplots in illustrated companions
(a week on each episode w/ an illustrated companion)
Focus on: illustrated companions: finish all remaining "Mystery"/"Cooper" (B) + "Subplots" (D) sections up to S2E9
Next work: illustrated companions: all remaining "Laura"/"Older Subplots" (C) sections

(0 of 22 remaining illustrated companions
including 0 of 6 remaining sections across all episodes

(*aside from last-minute updates - nothing today)
Latest public release: Lost in Twin Peaks #46 S3 Parts 17 & 18 (The Return - "The Past Dictates the Future" & "What Is Your Name?") podcasts & illustrated companion
2) concluding TWIN PEAKS Character Series

d) write narration for Part 6 (Chapters 37 - 48)
e) record narration for Part 6 (Chapters 37 - 48)
