I cannot wait for the next work log.
Oh man, you're really trying to send me into a spiral of worry now, aren't you? I have to finish this monster first.



Seriously though, I really appreciate your compliments, and I'm pleased to see that you're enjoying the project.

I'm all about the details--to the point of being really overkill sometimes, I'm sure. Can't help it. And sometimes I tend to ramble. I was paging through this log last night at stuff that was written a couple of months ago, and I began to blush. Like what the *#^& was I thinking at some points? I was all over the place. My head was so full of ideas, and my hands just didn't know how to bring them to life yet. I'm afraid a lot of that's because this is my first major project undertaking and so there's been a lot of redirection taken because things weren't planned out quite as well as they should have been, due in large to my fabrication inexperience.

I'm just glad that many of you have persevered through all that and are still on board with the project. The next time around (there will be a next time, but I'll be taking a nice break after r e f l e X i o n is complete) things should be more organized.

I've learned an incredible amount during this entire experience, and I've been fortunate enough to share it with many and to have benefited from business partnerships that, three months ago, I wouldn't have thought were possible at this stage. So I'm very happy about the way things have gone and just have to keep forging ahead to bring this to life.
