I really respect those in our hobby that can sit down and produce a game, a book, a piece of art - really anything that takes time and diligence to accomplish.
Me, I'm used to doing my stuff in bit and pieces. To the point where its really just bits here and there. The room renovations I've been working on have been going on for - well, forever it seems. Done in bits and pieces.
Today was the first time I found to hit it dead on, and nearly completed flooring the first room in a day. Of course, I had to ignore my 7 month old niece that was visiting, had to get my mother to pick my son up after his 100 degree tour of auxillary service, ate lunch in big bites while taking measurements and used my father's carpentry skills to the hilt as he trimmed the boards that needed it before I installed them. Yes, I was focused. An afternoon of clarity. It won't last for me.
Even getting this typed out has required a degree of cat wrestling, as my girl was neglected all day and wants to get it all in now, either by standing over my mouse or walking on my keyboard. She is persistent ;)
So to those of you that are persistent, productive, focused and all the other adjectives that define someone as one who gets things done - I tip my hat to you. Oh, and I'll be reading some of that work the previously mention have produced as I lie in bed tonight before passing out. Doing this "project" shit is damn tiring.
Just look at how long it took me to complete by Bard class for S&W. In that time, Greg has written a whole RPG from scratch, tracked down and received free yet amazing art, layout, feedback... and still finds time for the family responsibilities. Me, I need a clone of myself to split the work :)
