Personal Reflection

This was one of the few projects at the culmination of which, my inner critic was actually satisfied. Generally, as I work and develop a piece, I constantly accept and reject ideas, and even when I feel I have finished, there is a part of me that isn't completely satisfied with the product. Here, however, I had no such doubts at the end. I believe the reason for that is the fact that when I was developing my first piece and realized I did not like many parts of it, I decided to completely scrap that piece and start anew instead of trying to modify and salvage what I could. This I believe was critical in being able to produce something I am fully satisfied with. As I move forward, I will focus on recognizing such feelings and putting in the effort to restart if I feel the need to do so. It is true that this is a more time-consuming approach, but it is also a far more rewarding approach. Perhaps, in order to reduce the chance that I will need to restart, I should plan out my project and composition better before I even begin.
