Thoughts Completing a New Project

My second collaborative work is coming to a close. It’s nice being a bit farsighted, with the benefit of experience. Even better is realising something I said to reassure the person I was working with and myself.

The first one is the hardest when it comes to the process. The first one takes the longest.

Now, there’s the most irritating hurdles at the 90% mark. I don’t know about you, but when it comes to dotting the i’s when it comes to ensuring business contracts are all upheld, you have the supply ensured, that part can take up an unexpected afternoon or two. Part of the work that doesn’t make it to a media post or your happy memories looking back is making sure that end of productivity is done right. Because you’ve laboured on the words, the drafts become something unexpected, you want to be happy and most of all you just want it in somebody’s hands or right before their eyes.

Everything I write (this article included) has the pull that I need to go back and again to get it right, and it’s that unique feeling you forget and come back to.

Completion is a little further than you think. But; the other enjoyable part is setting up the announcement for when something new gets off the ground.

Soon, perhaps sooner than I can anticipate my second self-published work will arrive, and everyone here will be able to reach it. And this article is just sharing how that feels, a little glimpse behind the curtain. Everything about today, this day will be sanded down into a little piece of writing. I finished this while contemplating some email and checked the beta test, as soon as I came in from work. For you, the reader, this will arrive on a Thursday where I’ve released something to share. And hopefully, it’ll be a little pin on the road to getting Taste, the second booklet in The Artist and The Writer series completed.

I hope you enjoy it, each step of reading something, and the small victories we earn out of each day.
