The last part of making any book for me is forgetting it. It might sound funny, but it's true and essential. After all the millions of changes and fussing over details there comes a time when you decide it's finished.
Without this distance I find it's hard to get any peace of mind. So it's nice to just set it aside and forget it.
The best thing to do next is start working on the next project - and get on with the endless art-making struggles that it will bring.
I also tried going to the Seattle Art Museum, which was okay but not spectacular. What else might I have done? Skiing? (too expensive), clicking wine glasses (don't drink - no one to click glasses with), photographed tulips? Possibly... but I already have 8,000 tulip photos I've taken.
What do you all do when that final bit of paint has hit the canvas?
