I have come to think of the LTP as a serialized novel. Completing a chapter is an accomplishment that can motivate you to move on to the next chapter, or maybe a different project. Breaking the LTP down into smaller tasks helps because completion gives you a sense of achievement and accomplishment. Starting the next chapter with recent success on your mind makes starting another project much easier.
In short, you probably won’t finish an LTP because the inspiration is a life-long love affair with a subject that you cannot stop photographing. If you have such a project, hooray for you, don’t stop photographing. In the meantime, think of writing chapters and sharing it with the rest of us as soon as you complete it.
Work never shared is unfinished work.
