Writing isn’t really about wording. It’s about thinking. Sketchnotes from this cool article by Sally Kerrigan on overcoming writing blocks.

Argh, this reminds me of my struggles to get an angular 2 app working alongside my existing angular 1 app. I've tried three separate Fridays to configure some voodoo magic that satisfies the requirements and compilation steps to transpile Angular2 and my app down to proper ES5 , and failed three times, getting lost in es6-module-loader and System.JS and picking a proper traceur module format that would work for both my existing app and the new stuff. Although, I think I have just thought of another strategy to try (just take the ng2 stuff song its own build pipeline, separate from my existing app), so perhaps I'll dedicate my next Friday to that :).

"Softer language earns fewer retweets but better results." Great article cennydd I think a designers passion and energy should never fade; however, there is truth to be told about balance. It's knowing when to turn up your intensity and when to mute it. No one likes that crying pouting kid in the corner. Instead grow from these frustrating experiences and learn to use that softer language.
