"When I find myself not wanting to work on a thing, usually because unexpected delays make it drag on, I ask: 'What can I do to make this fun for myself?'
"Sometimes the answer is simple as adding snakes, puns, and existentialism. The weirder a thing gets the more motivated I am to finish it, because I no longer know just what the finished effect will be. When I've had enough experience with a thing that I truly know how it will turn out, and the finished form looks just as it did in my head, I feel no motivation to actually do the thing. When it could all go wrong, life is fun!"
