Why keep a diary...

#writing | One of my few prized possessions is this 70-page autobiographical book by my great-grandfather who was born in 1902 and was a farmer in France. Only a few copies were printed. His chapter titles are truly amazing, each is about 1-2 pages: - I saw the beginning of electrification - I saw the first cars - I saw the first airplanes - I smoked my first cigarette at 7 years old - I saw a total solar eclipse - The telephone - 1914: The war - I had the Spanish flu

The beauty of writing — Jack Vanlightly

#writing | I woke up this morning, sleep deprived after my cat woke me up repeatedly last night and discovered I needed to write something about writing. Perhaps it's because I'm reading "Bird by bird" again by Anne Lamott. So here is another post about writing as a software engineer. I love writing, I love the feel of knowing there's a seed of a story or an idea inside. With some writing projects I know something is there worth telling, but I don't always know enough about it yet to be sure. Sometimes it requires upfront research and sometimes I think I know enough to start writing and see the idea emerge as I type. The piece advances, in fits and starts, as I go back and research gaps, and often discarding the whole thing and rewriting it again... until it has formed itself into something worth while. Then I send it to people for review and I get more ideas and insights making the piece better again.
