Oh yes. Yes, yes, yes.
I have finished my book but the revision of it is taking forver. I have half finished pieces of writing all over. I start cross stich and then give up. I never seem to finish anything...grrr. I hate that trait of mine.
Good ides become old and worthless so quickly.

I think so/ Either we re manic and flighting from one project to another 15 in one day or we are remorse and depressed and trying to do SOMETHING and can't so yes I think we do.

I typically start 3-5 projects and run from one to the other doing things to them. Sometimes it takes me several months to finish something that could have been finished i a few days to a week. I have something on the back burner even as I type this.
