I’m a big
believer in finishing things. I’ve completed multiple college degrees, many
projects, and drafts of books. Being able to finish things is a very good trait
for a writer to have. One of the most difficult aspects of writing is actually
finishing a book. It’s easy to start one, but having the fortitutde to finish
out is something else altogether.
Whenever
something goes unfinished, I feel an itch in my mind. Sometimes I can put off
that itch for a time, but I will always, always come back to it and finish off,
finally putting that itch to rest.
Unfortunately,
this same itch also means that I feel like the project, job, whatever, has to
be completed to my satisfaction. I can’t do a half-ass job and be satisfied.
Whatever I do, whatever the project, I have to give a full effort to the best
of my ability.
There are
times, however, when this is not a good thing.
