I'm gonna jump on your bandwagon here. A recent example is my first entry to
the Ancient Building Theme contest this time. I've thought about this
project for about 3 years, (actually probably before the first contest,
though I couldn't have produced this thing for that first contest). I'm
realizing it now. It's never been far from my thoughts on projects to do,
but I haven't really spent any time until just a week or so now on it.
Some portions of the portions of this project have always been in "the plan"
and other more interesting features have just come to me while I have been
building. Though not massive amounts of rebuilding have occured, (yet),
there have been small areas reworks during the construction. I'm not done
yet either.
So, my point is, do I count all the time (3 years) that I've been thinking
about this project. Do I count only the actual building time with bricks in
hand. Do I count only the time that the finished contruct took.
