This one I can identify with. I admit I don't get the whole
"abandoned" thing. There is a profound and radical difference
between finishing a work and abandoning one. I have done both
and I can say from my experience that the two are not even
remotely related. Also, who is to say when a piece is finished,
other than the artist creating it? I have done things that were
absolutely and without question finished and I would never
equate the outcome to something abandoned, though others might
disagree. =8^o
People get some odd ideas. :)
