I suppose this is "the good old days" of an ongoing project when there's lots of low-hanging fruit for next increments of development. That's great. But here I whinge about tension between doing the next thing and writing about the last thing(s).

Now that I'm thinking about how to articulate this (i.e. to whinge articulately), I'm thinking it has a lot to do with MRRF, optimistic ideation, and keeping my meager project mismanagement capacity pinned on the rev limit for months prior.

MRRF? A while back I got a wild hair and ventured a trip to MRRF. That went amazingly well, and talking with lots of real live people a) was very encouraging, and b) pushed me in some new directions.

From there I've been running a MRRF-driven cycle of pressing to do new stuff before the next show, with some frustration about accumulating writing debt, then pressing to write a bunch of catch-up while frustrated about not doing all the great ideas from the show, or re-doing any of the stuff done in rough draft style before the show. Then maybe a little period of a little more balanced stride before sliding into the next pre-show press to let doing run ahead of writing again. Made all the more frustrating by project-mismanaging myself out of actually getting to the show last year. :-/

Part of press-to-do cycle is optimistic ideation about what I rilly rilly want to have done for the next show. This year I think I had a clearer idea of bounding that harder sooner than last year, but still I have a really hard time pruning aspirations that I've been nursing for months. In part because I have no idea how long it might take to do a new thing until I get at least half way into figuring out how long it might take. And then the same again for the remainder  -- Xeno's project planning.
