Dün bir kısa öykü yazmaya giriştim ve ne mutlu ki gün içerisinde tamamlayabildim. Aklımda onu başka bir güne bırakmak vardı. Ancak kafam...

Yesterday I started writing a short story, and thankfully I was able to finish it during the day. I had intended to leave it for another day. But when I started it suddenly, when my head was empty, the end came quickly. I had a lot of fun writing it, but there was one point that was important to me. I had to face my most difficult subject while writing it. Writing short, or in this context, writing to a limited word count. As the limit we set for our writing club is around 30

Yeni yıl benim için hızlı başladı. Bu durum kitap okumama da dizi/film izlememe de yansıdı. Arkadaşımın bir önerisiyle başladım. Yakın geçmişte izlediğim birkaç animasyon filmine tekrar şans vererek devam ettim. Bunun dışında bir de uzun soluklu bir diziye başladım. Photo by Marius GIRE  on Unsplash Ocak Sineması 1.

We have entered the first quarter of this century. This has given me helpful ideas for all sorts of beginnings. Some of them I have already started, but there are a few that I want to keep going for a long time. As a project for this month, I plan to leave a time capsule for the next quarter.

Every new year, creative people leave some gifts to humanity. What those gifts are is revealed on the very first day. Yes, 1 January was "Public Domain Day". As you know, most works of art are protected by copyright as soon as they are created. But although works are immortal, people are not. Therefore, these works are no longer personal values, but are now shared with humanity, with us. Of course, if there are various foundations and organisations to protect these works, the
