Thanks! Neither one was really what I was shooting for, but the first one came much closer.

Comment on Writing, Anyone? by Jay

Thinking about it. I’ve got an idea that might be a screenplay or might be a stageplay or might be a webcomic, and maybe more than one of those. And rather than continue to sit on the thing and do nothing with it, I should probably try writing it in one form or another and see what happens.

That kind of reflection feels like a gift.

Kent – Thanks for stopping in! (And at the risk of sounding like a fanboy: Thanks for TDD: By Example!) I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise that, as young as software engineering is, many of its good ideas come from much older information-structuring professions.

Wish me luck beating back the oceedies. Which reminds me: Do you recommend a blunt or edged instrument for said beating?

I actually stole the idea from the writing world, as taught to me by Dick Gabriel. It does work a treat, if you can suppress the oceedies.

Perfectly understandable and you would know much better than I what would help motivate you. Maybe “time limit” can be thrown in there as well – again, doesn’t denote an end for the entire process, just a specific designated one…

Kristin: SMOOCH. And thanks.

go_good: Interesting idea, but the feeling it gives me is a little to close to how I’ve been working – I’ve been too focused on taking steps without worrying so much about their length and direction. I’ll keep that one in my back pocket, though, for the next time I change mantras.
