Andrew Michael Miller's Thought Backlog
Writer and working Agile professional. Author of Pancho's Fall.
In Scrum, it's important that developers communicate when they are working on stories. (Stories are the fully-broken down chunks of work that are put into the Sprint Backlog.) When a developer starts working on a story, they need to indicate in some way that they have assigned themselves that work, or else there is a risk that another developer might start working on the same story without knowing it's already being worked.
I began this blog as a way to express myself and unashamedly build a platform for my future writing. I understand that even if I write the best books ever made, if no one buys them, then it'll be like I wrote nothing at all. So I thought I had found a good outlet to discuss the ongoing project of writing a book, as well as the process itself. One of the thoughts I had while writing was about how each of us contend with different forces inside our own heads as we write. I considered how there were some days when I would be thinking all about my world or about how I can improve a scene or a character in some way, and then when I sat down to write it, I couldn't find the motivation. So even though I wanted to write, I couldn't because of a little voice in my head telling me not to do it.
