Day 12 - The Beginning to Part 2 and a Stumble

A few mistakes along the way or unavoidable

Today I started writing to the outline for Part 2 and it was going well.

But I started to realize that the outline needed some major adjustments. The focus for the first section about the inbox was all wrong. It needs to be about creating your first note - how to do it, how to know where it goes and what to do if there's no place for it.

I realized this only after I'd done some writing.

So I rewrote the outline. And now I'm out of time to do more. I'll come back tomorrow with fresh eyes. The missteps and figuring out what was wrong took 40 minutes. When you create any project, there are almost always some bumps in the road and this is one of them.

I'll see you for tomorrow's update.

With gratitude,

Rodney
