History written by me.

A lot of people start deduction because they saw the BBC Sherlock. I did too, It was the thing that made me desire this skill. I watched the show for the first time about 3 years before I started deduction. This is a very cool skill to have andit is just so big brain. I gradually forgot about this desire and didn't aid it. Then, 3 years later, I start watching the mentalist, because I lite TV shows like that, I go about 2 seasons, when Igo on a kayak race. We slept in tents and stayed up until late night. I, being alredy half asleep and having regained that desire of deduction, that I searched for something along the lines of " How to deduce?" "How to think like Sherlock Holmes" "The science of deduction" when I ran into the youtube channel, The art of deduction. It had a lot of good material on it, so I decided to check a video out. It was very good, and I think at this exact moment, my journey began to be a deductionist. 

Proceeding to aid my thirst for knowledge on the topic, I watched various videos and went on the subreddit. I learnt a lot of things, and I gradually built up the knowledge to have done a few basic passing deductions. I think this was the point where I created my blog that I left cold for a couple of weeks to let myself collect some content for my first entry. This is the point that I went a bit deeper.

My first entry and onward

My first entry consisted of a pretty basic deduction of a guy with some mud on his shoes. I also made some comments of what research I've been putting into the topic beforehand. My frustrations with body language that I solved eventually. 

Shortly after I made this entry I started writing a book with my unlimited free time during the summertime. I've jet to go out into town and deduce. This was when I dug myself even deeper into the hole, but not enough seeing that I sprung back after another week or two.

My second & third entry

I gave you an update, that I was writing a book and a fun deduction I made about some twins. I can't really say anything else about this entry. 

In my third entry I had some comments on the tourist and mentioned how I deduced them. At this point I've mainly made passing deductions wich really highlights how far I've come. I also made some comments about my flaws. Being the self-hating and judging piece of shit I am, this was more than natural.

My first time going out on the field

I actually remember this quite vividly for some odd reason. I went out in the morning in a shirt, to make myself feel smart, it worked quite well. I went around with my friend until she had to go home, but I stayed and had a few deductions whilst doing my circle around town. I didn't get much out of people, not even occupation or anything. Just primary hand and age. I grew out of these deductions by now. 

In the entry itself I basicaly told the same thing. And mentioned my favourite Sherlock Holmes quote to this day: 

"One shall not twist facts to suit theories, but theories to suit facts."

I finished the entry off with an explenation about how i operated. Thus, this masterpice of an image was born:

This concluded the entry.

 My 5th entry

It was a short one. I explained why I had this 8 days of not posting after a string of daily entries. I said I lost interest a bit, and  I had to go to a kayak race. I explained my mode of work, after I mentioned it in the previous entry. I just collected a bunch of bullshit I remember hearing on youtube. It's quite useless in retrospect.

The skip

I am still a bit ashamed of how disinterested I became with deduction. I skipped almost a month. From august, to the start of school. I didn't have anyone to deduce, I mean you don't really go out in the summer break. I became more interested when, I had human interactions again., I came back. I started deducing again, and writing the blog. I mentioned what I try to deduce on a person, wich are kind of easy now. 

1. age 
2. primary hand
3. work/study
4. pets
5. hobbie
6. income 
7. partner

I also made this pretty good quote

"

I cannot express my love for this hobby, it changes me it kind of gets my analytcal and smart side going, because i have been great already at inductive thinking and deductive thinking. This hobby, it grabbes us this little community of a few thoundsand. I wanted to be aprogrammer until I did this because it`s so fun and intriguing, now I want to use this newfound skill. I`ve only been doing this for about 1 1/2 months and I had the most fun with this hobby than with any other, under this little time.

"

I became disinterested with deduction the second time. Well not that much. I just didn't write anything for a long time, because I was busy and just focusing on nonverbals. This wasn't that much truble nad I think this is where I really began to pick up on deduction, going so deep in the rabbit hole, that I can't get out. I basically just made excuses.

The new stuff

These entries are newer, but I'm still going to talk about them. The first entry was regarding my deduction style finally shifting from more body language to more of the other stuff. I was overall happy with this change. Also just a note that this is close to present (the entry was on Oct 6) because I actually remember some images from that time and what I'm talking about.

The next entry was about the the amateur deductionist training program that I started journaling for 2 weeks and then shifted into whole deductions, and journaling them.

Summary

The first week I started out as a rookie with some videos in his hand and a blogger account. Back then I made very shitty deductions. Then I started improving my skills. It started as a very personal blog and just repeating what I heard from different sources because I was insecure with my microscopic experience, to be a smartass. Now it's a slightly less personal blog with me being an actual smartass and displaying my opinions. I actually became a pretty much intermediate deductionist through 4 months. I am very proud of my skills and am trying to use them as much as possible. Without being a smartass. 

I got some pretty good feedback on my work so I try to stay determined.

Until then...

Happy deducing!
