I think I figured it out.

If I don't actually do anything, I won't be able to mess them up.

There.
I said it.

If all my projects stay unfinished there's still the chance that they might be worthwhile someday. Once they ARE finished, they'll all go into the big box of failures and I'll have to mark another thing off the list of things I might be good at.

But failure is what leads to success. You have to make mistakes repeatedly before you get to the final, successful product. Rogue believes the same way, and has told me so (but a bit more eloquently than I was able to here).

By the way, are you still working on your children's book? I don't think *that's* a failure. If you make good copies/templates of it, with illustrations there's something to send to all the publishers you can get addresses from. That's how all children's authors get started, but you have to send the stuff out first.

Did you do a really bad sketch? Is that what depressed you? (That happens to me... But you know that).

Work has been crazy. We are pretending to be at war. My shifts have been up to about 13 hours a day.

Oh, if you're coming to the wedding, you'll need a light green dress of your choice.

Got to get ready for wo- war.
