and as a photographer i must say that some projects are life long, or are measured by decades. you collect this kind of photos, but you collect that kind of photos over the years. and you never know when you finished. maybe you have an exhibition with that theme one day ten years later but that does not mean the project is over. you can continue to update it.
maybe photography and code make me feel like that. but if i was doing music (i am trying from time to time) i would try to have the source in a way, i would be able to update it later.

as a filmmaker... (omg sorry, when i was a student, i was doing short films) i was always feeling bad that i cannot keep all the raw video files and the project file of the video editor. because later i would want to come back to it and reedit maybe. and release a minor update to the same video. (:
that's also i think fine and we'll come to it. because we have authors who write books and they have newer and newer editions of the same book.
let's say charles petzold has several editions of his 'code' and niklaus wirth had many inerations of 'algorithms and data structures', first it was 'algorithms + data structures = programs' for pascal, then 'algorithms and data structures' for modula-2, then 'algorithms and data structures' for oberon, then updated edition for oberon.
I am very bursty with my work, and rotate between several things (software, hardware, playing instruments, photography, reading a lot of fiction, being social, lately, learning Spanish, etc). I tend to go all in, do a lot, and get tired/annoyed with whatever it is, until the next time. There seem to be cycles that last between months and years. I'm still learning to deal with it, but consistency was never my thing.

inconsistent work — hello my friends, i make music n stuff, and ive noticed how inconsistent i am with making music recently. i always get huge bursts of energy and i work all day every day for like a week, and then i crash and dont work on music for a while. im working on a new album and this process is NOT working well haha. i dont think ill ever finish the album if i keep up with this type of schedule. i was wondering if anybody here has any tips relating to this and how i could get more...
