Miguel Garcia-Guzman, The process of creativity is a process of selection:

The photographer has to eliminate from the portfolio all but the extraordinary images, and the galleries have to curate all but the extraordinary of the extraordinary. All you are left with is an small percentage of the work that is being produced. So, when we awe about the creativity of great photographers, we indeed awe on their ability to eliminate the crap, put aside the good and only show the excellence.

The process of creativity is a process of selection.

My interpretation: revel in your unfinished projects and unfulfilled ideas, our ideas that have yet to see the light of day are the signs of a creative mind and good taste.

I hope…

so recognizing the good for what it is is a learned skill?

We'll never create all of our idea; but since not all our ideas are good, we use our good taste to define our priorities. Learning how to select is almost an independent skill from learning how to create.

I'm still learning both…

(Catching up…) I like your interpretation. I feel _much_ better about my lack of having finished anything in two years, musically. Though at this point, I'm hoping to have less such “evidence” of my good taste. ;)

I hope it's not just rationalization :)
