Day 3
A bit of a busier day. My programming work took the bulk of my time but I did get to read a little more of Turning Pro by Steven Pressfield. What stood out to me from todays reading session was his list of traits of a pro:
The professional is:
- patient
- seeks order
- acts in the face of fear
- accepts no excuses
- is prepared
- does not show off
- dedicated to mastering technique
- does not hesitate to ask for help
- does not take failure or success personally
- etc etc
These and a bunch of other traits are what I hope to embody in full one day but for now let us just lay the foundation brick by brick…
For actual literary work – I’m reading this excellent article on how to create a character profile — How to Create a Character Profile: the Ultimate Guide (with Template) (reedsy.com)
I don’t really have an exact story or narrative in mind yet but I do have a cast of characters I’d like to see used. For tonight – just one main character aught to do it.
