My Progress | Week 5: Revisions, revisions, the bane of my existence. Want some unsolicited advise? Never translate yourself.
Week 4: Wrote something using JavaScript. It was not as easy to read as the texts I’ve already written with Ruby, but it was an interesting exercise. I love that Ruby’s syntax doesn’t require semicolons. In non coderSpeak news, I chose something to revise for next week. It’s going to be painful! Week 3: Barely an hour had passed since I finished a flash piece, when I said “I think I don’t hate this one.” That’s a victory, right? Week 2: Wrote a kind of prose poem in Spanish. It’s… something. I’ve never consider myself bilingual, but here I am: rediscovering words can fail me in two languages. Week 1: Do deleting a bunch of bad words count? I tried to finish a piece of SF flash fiction and discovered I ended up with less words than at the beginning of the week. Sometimes writing is deleting. |
