It's been hard not trying to jump ahead and do things I want to do. Whenever I do that I get tangled up in fighting with the documentation and trying out concepts I'm not ready for. Finally I've set some ground rules for myself. Only create my own play-with-it code that works around concepts and code examples I've got working so far. It's really hard not breaking that rule.

I enjoy playing with Time Travel in my daily art-journal, so I've been using ideas from those illustrations and story segments with this work. It makes reviewing book exercises (which I've already done but for which, I don't feel real ownership) much less frustrating. I concentrate on repeating book ideas, but with a little more zing than the typical checkbook balancing code.

I can still read about NSSTring and other concepts I haven't gotten to in the books I'm using, but I don't have to fret about knowing everything I want to know to use them yet.

The following sample is based around an earlier art-journal piece at my Simple Romantic blog. You can read that piece (and see other art-journal entries) by visiting The Simple Romantic.
