BWN: What's Goin On


Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 120

[GREETING GOES HERE]

So since I broke my left hand, I can't really draw. But I can type

What's Going On

I started coding again lol. I'm kind of embarrassed to share because I think it's kind of uncool, but I really enjoyed it haha. (link)

Got to practice design and then remind myself why I liked coding to begin with. I had fun designing the color scheme, fonts and logo (flower thing) and then putting it into action.

Doing some other stuff too lol


What I've been thinking about

I think these past 2 weeks have been kind of insane (in a great way!). I don't really know exactly how to explain it...

I've been learning so much and I'm finding out that learning itself is what gets me into my element. That's why was so obsessed with drawing, sewing, coding and music (back in the day). It had a very steep learning curve so I saw myself learn fast, they were all very independent, and they were all about creating things.

Something similar is happening here too

But it's a bit different because it's a feeling of "things are coming together". I'm sure some of it is that skills are overlapping (like art and coding). Still a lot to learn, but I’m excited about where this is headed.

I'm also starting to see some trends and fundamentals in things.

Like when I was mastering art. There were principles:

  • master the fundamentals
  • copy models from the masters, not execution
  • think about messaging. everything follows from it
  • iterate fast! and get those necessary failures out of the way

And it's like those principles are showing up in new areas of life but in bigger ways. Idk lol.

I'm thankful that the Lord has put me here. We'll see what happens. Kind of vague haha. I hesitate to share details because things are moving super fast...and those details may not even be true by the time you read it.


Thank you!

Next Newsletter is next Wednesday!
