I admit that I have encountered the same feeling(s). I am actually relieved
to hear that others have as well.
As a programmer by trade, I find building to be quite exciting and relaxing
(and challenging)... all of which are good. However, I am used to being
able to accomplish the goal at hand... some goals are harder than others, of
course.
So, I apply patience where I can, and sometimes have to spend some time away
from my Lego 8-) Recently, I felt the need to break away a bit, so I
printed some of the kernel for legOS to see if there was anything I could
add/modify. It is good to have something else to go to when your current
project is not going well/easy.
I did recently finish a project, and it felt good. At the same time,
looking back, there are a few things I wish I had taken pictures of. Even
though they were not complete, they where (IMO) interesting none the less.
