Hi everybody,

I just got back from my gathering at Walker Creek Ranch. While I was
there I realized that I have the personality type of a sensation
seeker. This doesn't mean that I like to go jump out of planes or off
of cliffs, but that I will often take on more than I can handle because
I like doing things. Unfortunately this means that I often don't
complete many projects because I keep switching in the middle.

My question is this, how many of you like to start new stories, or new
chapters, but rarely finish them? Instead starting another new project
in the middle?

Yeah, I tend to do that. It really got me down a while, too, since it
seemed like I could never finish a project.

Yes, I would have to agree. However at the same time I think it is great that I have so many topics that I could write about. If I ever get blocked on one item, I could turn to another.
