Good things come to those who wait. As someone who recently decided that a day means a week, a week means a month and a month means half a year, I understand. I am guessing that the large majority of people who follow you will also. Thank you for sharing your product even when you were not happy with it. That's a strong share. Clearly you are not afraid of things not going exactly as planned. You are resilient and you even share that with others. That's part of making art too. Sometimes we wait, we reconfigure. I do paint by the way. I just haven't been actively, but I am getting to that in a few months. Anyway, good luck! May you have supplies, and light and good music. Time is an unfaithful friend in linear land, but the over riding rule is infinity. That's a nice way of saying screw linear time. Also, you never have to agree with me, obviously. Good luck!

some very wise words there :-)) I'm a dancer and while in my head I "know" exactly what I want to achieve (linear time indeed!), it takes many false starts and meandering paths to actually get there - if ever, because often things turn out very differently, but I love it when that happens. the eternal fight between technique and inspiration....

Oh actually I'd like to see the process, warts and all. I often feel that my creative endeavors are so error ridden, time consuming, and imperfect it would be nice to see that everyone goes through the same thing to some degree! I think I have this perception of artists (particularly visual ones) as able to just produce a master piece every time they sit down to work on something. I know that's not really how it id but it sure seems like it!😂

Yes, definitely more than meets the eye. Kind of like “overnight success” stories - they aren’t! I’m going to get back in the ring soon with some renewed optimism 😎

Putting a book together definitely takes time, but it's worth it.

Best of luck! I know how hard it is to balance all the work.
