I'd really like to have more tools when writing long stories, texts or even novels.</p><p>That's the abstraction level I need to find. At drawing, sculpting, programming, etc it appears. It's the planning, the ability to predict the result before you do it.<br />I lack that skill and that's why often my whole process feels really random or out of control.</p><p>Get what I mean?</p><p>Is it called mastery maybe, right?</p>88888http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2019-05-15T21:44:12+00:002019-05-15T21:44:12+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://mastodon.social/users/ekaitz_zarragaekaitz_zarragaEngineer.
