 Frustration 
Inspiration

Some people might say getting started with something is the hardest part. And it might be for some things, but more often than not, when what I'm doing is worth while, sitting down pales when compared to how much effort, time, and patience it takes to actually see it through. I often start with a clean table, just some sheets of blank paper, a couple books, maybe some previous notes, keep it simple, clean. By the end I will probably have needed to empty the trash can a couple of times and have been out for fresh air quite a few times.
