Reading A Writer’s Tale by Russell Davies.
In it he talks about making choices and lots of ideas floating. And about how the structure that is purported by others such as keys to character development, is not his style.
It got me wondering about teaching and programming. Ideas are swirling around in my head all the time. And it is the choice of what to follow which is important. Same for research, I suppose. And formal structure can get in the way of that.
For my stuff, programming included, I just start coding. And it works out well enough. Structure needs to be imposed on all such things, but I think it is a mistake to focus on that too early. Know good habits and it shouldn’t be too bad.
So go crazy and enjoy. Just start! Be creative and embrace the flow of ideas. Do not let others make you cower in fear of expectations.
