Having the awareness to witness your own growth over the course of a project means you're getting good at something, I think. When you can see the things you're going better than ever before, as well as the things you'll do better next time, it means the actual work has become second nature. With your body and mind settling into the work, you can spare the attention to focus on other things.
That's how it was finishing the rough draft of SkyChasers last night. For those who don't know, I've been working on a tabletop role-playing game for kids about space commandoes battling giant bugs, robots, dinosaurs and other threats to humanity's future amongst the stars. Last night, I typed out the last few sentences of the rough draft, and e-mailed the results to some folks interested in developing the project with me. There's a definite sense that this is the best thing I've ever done, and at the same time I can see how much better it's going to be going forward.
Finishing the most recent draft of Sam Bailey felt much the same, as did the third draft of both the Heartsgaard film and the play. Finally, I've reached a point in my career where I'm continuously working on the most awesomest thing ever. I'm feeling pretty blessed to be doing such great work with such great people.
