Also, yes, I read the first draft! It was a rather unusual experience. It was at times really hard, and at times very delightful. It felt simultaneously old and new. I knew all of what I read (by definition), but I also *learned* some new things from it – from my own writing!

The beginning was really rough and made me worried, but things picked up after that. (The ending felt amazing and made me really happy. They were both written on the same day. Go figure.)

Funny thing: I used some words I forgot since, and I had to look up! (Example: “sash.”)

Funny thing, also: It’s fascinating to read a book and be able to *rewrite parts you don’t like* while doing it. Or, leave a TK. I left tons of TKs in all caps; here’s an abridged list out of context (and an example in context, in case you’re curious).pic.twitter.com/G6Er4k3K2q

Funny thing, once more: You could have a drinking game with my cavalier use of the crutch word “simply.” I repeated that word 280 times throughout the book – present in every chapter but one, with a record *nineteen* appearances in the chapter about RSI.

Good news, though: The chapters I wrote later in the process were so much better. That means, I think, I’m becoming better at this, right…?

Next stops? Need to rewrite a bunch of things towards the second manuscript, including the beginning. (I have tons of TKs inside, and notes outside.) Then, show it to more people.pic.twitter.com/Oq4w1KxZIN

These icons make sense to me today. But I’m pretty sure that won’t be the case tomorrow.pic.twitter.com/mppnZ4Uj6y

On a completely unrelated thread, someone just showed me this fascinating keyboard I’ve never heard of. I believe that at this point in my life EVERYTHING WILL SOONER OR LATER CONNECT TO KEYBOARDS.https://twitter.com/AJKandy/status/995017378789441536 …

A.J. Kandy @AJKandyReplying to @chriswearly @mwicharyHere's a fun example of an early 80s synthesizer that had a rare (at the time) 14-segment alpha display: The Kawai SX-240. You could type on the keyboard to name your patches. Not long after, the industry switched to LCD and VFD, and LED was relegated to numeric displays only. pic.twitter.com/8qcD9EhnCt3 replies 0 retweets 14 likesShow this thread -

I’ll just leave this here, in case you didn’t already know about it
