I’ve been having a hard time trying to focus lately.
It came to the point this week when I finally just took a break from the ridiculously massive project that I’m working on now and started dabbing in a couple of newer ones that I currently have scheduled to do after the big one actually completes. And I’ve got to tell you – it was a nice change, to the point where I know already that it’s going to be a real bear to eventually refocus and get back on track to finish the gigantic monster of a project that has otherwise been dominating my life for the better part of this year.
I mean, I guess I’ve been doing it for 7 months so far (going on 3 years, if you really want to nitpick), and while I’m absolutely thrilled with the results, frankly I’m also just really tired at this point and wish for the love of god that it was actually done already!
On the upside, at least I can say that this one by far is the single biggest thing that I have in my “pipeline” for at least the next year or so, meaning that once it’s finally done, all of my projects going forward are considerably smaller and I should be able to complete them in a matter of weeks, as opposed to months upon months…upon months. Plus, and I’m sure I’ll talk more about this later as I get closer to the new year, I’m really looking forward to putting a lot of this “web development work” aside for a while and just focusing on writing new stuff next year. I’ve had (and still have) a lot of core things that need to be aligned across the various things that I’m writing, but once all of that gets wrapped up, I “should” be good for another year or two to allow me to focus my efforts elsewhere for a change…
Now what was I specifically working on this evening again??? I honestly don’t even remember at this point!
