So... I think I may have mentioned a couple days ago a certain friend of mine calling me out for not finishing things I start. He was talking about TV shows, and despite knowing that what he said was in jest, it still managed to cut me deep.
Don't worry, I don't hate him (how could I hate you, Riley?), but what he said did quite the number on me.
Since that conversation, I finished Corner Gas (which I know I wrote about) and season three of X-Men. I'm now on season four, and it's been great.
It's funny... it's so easy for me to get distracted and stop doing whatever I started. Yet, now, after finishing Corner Gas and working on wrapping up X-Men, I find completing these things to be totally worth it.
Now, if only my leaving things unfinished were simply a matter of TV shows. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case.
The cost of being an ideas guy is that it's hard to stay focused on the work of something when new and more awesome ideas are always coming to mind. Still, sticking with something rarely does me wrong. So it's something I have to work at.
Which reminds me... I need to work on my comic book idea.

Same problem here. Except for me, it's with books. I can't finish a book. In fact, I haven't read a book for my own pleasure in 2 years. It's sad, but true. I get 20 pages in, and stop. I can't keep my focus. Blah.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm glad to see that you've forced yourself to finish dese tings. You've encouraged me to finish the book I'm currently reading. XD
