Hi Amy! Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. Yes, you are right I did need to complete the piece in order to lift the burden and start something new. I think by just writing honestly about how I felt about the piece helped me move on. I have had a much more productive day now that this is off my chest. Thanks for listening/ reading!

P.S. I’m not the Amy who encouraged you to post about it, but if I’d had the opportunity to, I would’ve too! Just thought I’d clarify that, since I have the same name. Of course, you knew that, but others reading might be confused…

I understand your dilemma and respect you all the more for seeing it through and posting about this project that you found so dissatisfying. You worked your way through the funk and finished something…perhaps you are still in the funk, but at last you have pushed this piece out of it, so you are fighting the funk without the weight of it…if you had let this piece remain in there with you, it would have been a nagging burden that dragged you in deeper. Now you can move on!

Sometimes process and closure HAVE to outweigh your satisfaction with the product, though we’d all like for process and product to be equally pleasing.

Keep on working! Your journey is interesting and you have strangers joining in with your personal friends, cheering you on and appreciating what you are doing.
