projects.

i realize that i am a project person.  i think it's why i am an aspiring novelist, as far as my writing goals go.  i like long-term projects.  or why i look forward to the development, design and marketing of my first book of poems.  i love DIY and i love making blogs.  i like having specific blogs.  a blog for pictures, a blog for poems, a blog for one-sentence poems, a blog for sestinas.  i love crocheting things.  i love designing posters for events.  i love doing this research.  i love thrift shopping for neat finds and steals.  i would love to think up and start up and advertise a thrift store next summer (one of many thoughts).  i love decorating my room every year.  i love packing and unpacking.  if i ever get married, i will love planning my wedding (wouldn't be a huge affair, but i don't really do any huge affair-type projects anyway).

that said, i certainly don't finish every project i begin.  some novels are nothing more than twelve pages and some sentimental residue.  some DIYs are too expensive to carry on, or don't work out like i thought they would and i give up.  some crochet patterns are frustrating or overwhelming.  some blogs i just don't have enough content to keep running properly.

that said, every project i do finish isn't necessarily utilized.  some events never happen and therefore do not require posters.  enough poems for a couple of books are complete but i've yet to find the confidence or money to do something with them.  some novels are finished but who knows if i really even want them read, and even if i do, again with the money.

everything above said, i don't really believe in "all good things come to an end."  and maybe that's strange, maybe you would think a project person would feel like everything is good in its own time but nothing last forever and you move on to the next thing and the next thing is as great as the last (if they're positive), but i guess i see my life as having more fluidity than that.  it's not one project to the next, everything is intertwined– purposefully.
