So, When I Was Doing My Thesis On Whether Or Not Fanfiction Should Be Considered A Legitimate Genre Of

So, when I was doing my thesis on whether or not fanfiction should be considered a legitimate genre of literature, my advising professor asked me for examples.  I gave him the generic ones, of course - “Pride & Prejudice and Zombies” is a horror fanfic of “Pride & Prejudice”, “50 Shades of Grey” is an erotica fic of “Twilight" - and that seemed to make him understand what fanfiction is, but not how it’s useful.  So I thought about it, and, after about a minute, I said, “Paradise Lost is basically a fanfiction of the Book of Genesis.  And The Divine Comedy is an epic self-insertion fic for Catholic doctrine.  So, basically, you were teaching us fanfiction last semester.”  I had never before seen a grown man’s eyes widen with such fear, incomprehension, disgust, awe, and understanding.

People think coding / debugging means highly concentrated furious typing, but mostly it’s just angrily staring at the screen for long periods of time waiting for the problem to solve itself

How do you make the jump from like, completing CodeAcademy lessons to actually conceptualizing and building a program?

Honestly, it is really tough. People seem to make it sound like it’s a lot easier but if you’re doing it by yourself, you really have to work at it!

What you could start doing is drafting up a thought in your head from any idea; say you think "I have this problem and it could be solved this way”. Transform that thought into a solution and use it! It’s going to be a bit tougher since CodeAcademy can’t teach you the logic of everything, but it will start to get easier and easier as time goes on! 

I would also suggest maybe looking at school websites for Computer Science, as a lot CS teachers will post their assignments on a website and you can use those to base projects off of!
