Day 01: I'm back...

When I started writing posts here I was so excited. I had a lot of things to talk about and the positive feedback always made me happy. I was motivated and eager to learn. But after a few weeks, I had no more interesting topics to write a post about, so I stopped. But in the meantime, I think I learned a lot and my English improved, so I decided to start over. That's it, I'm here.

Yesterday I finished reading a book from Andy Weir. It's the 'Martian', his first novel. It's a masterpiece if you ask me. I really like it's cynical style so I tried to master it somehow because I am too, but I can't express it well in English. I recently bought two other books, so I'll keep going to read to improve.

I'm working on a really big project anyway. It's a pretty big database for my master's thesis developed in Python. It'll be fully automatic, customizable and scalable. I've been working on it for 4 months, but I don't see the finish line yet. But it must be somewhere ahead of me, so I'll find it and cross it. Or go through it? I don't know, maybe both are good, maybe not. Tell me!

Corrections

Day 01: I'm bBack...

Proper capitalization in your title.

When I started writing posts here, I was so excited.

Add a comma after “here” to separate the introductory clause

I had a lot of things to talk about, and the positive feedback always made me happy.

Add a comma before “and” because the sentence has two independent clauses.

But after a few weeks, I had no more interesting topics to write a post about, so I stopped.

"to write about" Shorter and smoother phrasing.

But iIn the meantime, I think I learned a lot, and my English improved, so I decided to start over.

Remove second “But” to avoid repetition.

Yesterday, I finished reading a book fromby Andy Weir.

Add comma after “Yesterday” for clarity.
"by Andy Weir." Correct preposition when referring to authorship.

It's t'The 'Martian', his first novel.

Capitalize the book title correctly.

I really like it's cynical style, so I tried to master it somehow because I am too, but I can't express it well in English.

"its" Correct possessive form.
Add comma before “so” for clarity.

I recently bought two other books, so I'll keep going to reading to improve.

"keep reading" More natural phrasing.

I'm working on a really big project anyway.

You can also say, "Anyway, I’m working on a really big project."

It's a pretty big database for my master's thesis, developed in Python.

Add comma before “developed in Python” to separate descriptive clause.

I've been working on it for 4four months, but I don't see the finish line yet.

Spell out numbers under ten.

Feedback

Corrections are mostly about grammar consistency and punctuation. Good job, keep writing!

I can feel your excitement about your new hobbies. You can use it as your journal entry here. Also, honestly, I'm not really familiar with Python, so I don't think I should say something about that 😂

Thank you for your feedback!
Those commas are driving me crazy. I have to use them completely differently than in my native language. I can't get used to it.
Anyway, my plan is to write about my (new) hobbies every day or so. I hope they'll give me enough thoughts for a long journal.
