- - - - Some lenses to analyze multimodal composing
        
        composing requires using different mediums, tools, and interfaces
        
        writing happens in and across different mediums (typing and handwriting)
        
        happens in and on other spaces (notebooks, sticky notes, phones, keyboards
        
        different mediums serve different purposes
        medium: a means of effecting or conveying something
        
        composing requires others
        
        composing is tied to the human experience of time
        
        writing is sedimented and intersected by life experiences occurring during our composing.
        composing isn't limited to a particular time when a writer is sitting at a notebook or a computer
        composing "time" is thus temporally porous
        
        composing happens beyond alphabetic text on the page or screen
        
        composing is inherently multimodal
        
        is an ongoing process that occurs while driving, running, interacting with others, and other mundane everyday events
        
        happens in the human mind-itself a complex, networked, poorly understood space-meaning that composing is happening constantly
        
        composing happens with/through bodies
        
        it's not just a cognitive act; it's a material act,
        
        the materiality of writing has to do with the products of composing, but also the physical body composing
        
        while composing, the body has demands; the body interrupts, intervenes, processes, digests, and more
        
        composing revolves around influences, collaborations, and intertextual reciprocities
        
        writing habits and styles are shaped by what came before us; additionally, our collaborations with one another in and out of class influence our video compositions
        
        composing influences are often outrightly, visibly expressed in our composing processes
        
        the relationship between texts and those who make texts has the potential to motivate processes that will result in other texts
        
        what's invisible
        
        the ways in which our composing practices rub up against, fit into, or even explode metanarratives of queerness, race, disability, mothering/hood, and more. Both individually and as members of a larger academic community, we are wrestling with these metanarratives and how they shape our practices.
