I just finished a thing I've been working on for a month. it didn't feel like I was working on it for more than a week.

I always think about stephen king's analogy of the fossil - there's a structure there, if you've done it right, and all you need to do is unearth the thing. I am attached to this idea of artmaking. it is totally like being an archaeologist of your own head.
