I get a bit frustrated that I don't find myself making dazzling progress in coding works of Twine. However, I realized this afternoon while doing a lot of reading on http://intfiction.org, https://twinery.org, https://twinelab.net/twine-resources/#/, and other forums that it is this reading, interspersed with trying out snippets of Twinescript and Javascript, that make learning possible.

I know enough about learning theory to appreciate that sometimes periods of apparent non-productivity are in fact allowing the brain to percolate and make mental connections between concepts — even to have occasional epiphanies.

And so, I'll continue to read Reddit posts that are Twine-related. I'll read them trolling for valuable snippets, but also because they encourage me when I see that many other people have (1) many of the same questions I have, and (2) have creative aspirations in common with my own.

I'm working on a Sugarcube2 project about Dorn Stelgaard, and I'm trying out Scapple for the purpose of making flowcharts of various sections of the code — to help me wrap my head around the organization of passages and groupings of passages.
