My main goal
I'm treating this like my musical body of work. I try tutorials. I mess around with techniques. (when) I finish things (even when they sound rough). And I share what I learned—not as "here's how to do it," but as "here's what happened when I tried. "Sometimes a tip clicks and I'll share it. Sometimes I waste a week on something that doesn't work. I'll share that too. This isn't a roadmap. It's a journal. And if you're also learning, maybe seeing someone else stumble through it will make you feel less alone.
