Day 12/100...

Today I'm starting the first project assigned at the end of the first course. I'm quite anxious because I feel like I don't know what I'm doing. All I can do is try my best and practice everyday but we'll see.

soft reminders:

keep making art when no one sees it.

keep taking care of yourself when you’re tired.

keep trying when you don’t see progress.

ig: herdrafts Lately short stories/nonfiction interest me, captivated also by the art of writing essays, as a reader who gets fascinated by the author’s writing style most of the time, I’m discovering it as an inspiration for my reviews and my unsuccessful attempts to write a novel.
