Starting is not the same as finishing.

Early work in creative pursuits — where the path is undetermined, where possibility abounds — is not the same as later work, where the project has progressed, where imaginative work shifts to processes and task lists.

And it’s a necessary part of the practice; we have to close loops.

Sometimes tedious, sometimes less exciting, but fully necessary.

By learning to close the loops, we eventually weave together a tapestry of creative acts. A beautiful, ever-expanding contribution.
