echanI keep thinking about a quote I read once, about how to sculpt stone: you hold in your mind the final shape, and cut away the parts that don't belong. Vidding often feels like that -- not so much the cutting away, but the need to hold in the front of your mind the final result you're working towards. Even more when it's unclear or uncertain, you have to know the general shape, the feel of it, to guide you.
I joked at work that half my brain is taken up by a particular project, and sadly it's funny because it's true. The project is in an odd area, adjacent to things I normally work with but with zero actual overlap. All this new info crammed into my head during six months of planning, then used daily during a year of dev time, and now still needed another couple months at least for this final phase before I can forget it all.
This will end. Eventually. (It has to.)
