I find after I post my work I rarely revisit it to complete or fix it, and maybe it is the different forms of presentation that we take as it being "done" in our minds?
All through university I used to have my little sketchbook and I never let other people look through it. I always thought that it was the secrecy that I liked best, and maybe that is part of it... but thinking about it now I think I liked that punch of presenting the completed idea.
Plus, there was always less explaining of prelims to final.
But that's really cool... I hadn't thought about it in those terms before.
The problem is that one of the best ways I have of developing an idea is by talking about it with people. Of course it leads to me overthinking the idea then I get bored with it for a while. Or, I get distracted and move to another project for a while. I just end up not completing a lot of my big projects, or juggling a dozen at once.
Sometimes I wonder why I was more productive in high school! I wrote a 100,000 word fanfiction within two years of production. I have no idea how I did it! And I still have a lot of work ethic now.
Of course, the actual road to publication is a different story. I still haven't gotten to that point yet, mainly because I'm a perfectionist when it comes to that sort of stuff.
(Of course, my recent health has been an obstical, which is why I haven't done but not for long!)
I don't know if this will make you feel better but, I am very jealous of your abilities, lifestyle and charisma. This envy turns to hate sometimes. You live a more rewarding and fuller life than I.
