I need the motivation to paint. I know how, I'm good at it, I even used to enjoy it. I just can't do it.

All the while The Project is hanging on the wall above my desk, unfinished and taunting me.

I know if I put it away somewhere it will be lost to a portfolio of doom, never to be seen again. So it has to stay on the wall.

It has been on the wall for a very long time now.
