Getting this off the ground

blissfishAmid all of the wondering whether I need to start tending a second online journal or not, life got busy and I forgot to take the first steps to get this here page off the ground. Doing a little of that today.
So...
Journal page, not anything planned or finished. I've been having problems finishing larger-scale creative projects since...well, ever. I've had an especially rough time of it the past year or so. In the middle of any piece (for me, anyway), there's a period of time where I completely lose faith in the piece, my ability to finish it, my ability to make anything creative at all, etc. I know - I know - it's simply a part of the creative process, much like the excitement of a new idea, the stomach-tingly of an idea that won't go away (ooh, I love those), the but of mourning when one is finally done and I shouldn't play with it anymore. But the midpoint crisis of faith has had a louder voice for a long time.
I don't know why I started that ramble, but there you go.
