I do this also.
By accident I've found that the Pause Point is because of some inhibitor of the next step, or its followup.
- Like, a hole in my planning because I'm not sure exactly how to plan that part. I'm uncomfortable with 'winging it', but can't have experience until after winging it.
- Or the next step really kinda needs a buncha research but it's boring.
- Or I need to ask someone to help but. . . you know.
- Or it really does need something done first that seems -probably- impossible, and I could 'theoretically' work around it, but, (unconsciously) I pause in case a better answer happens to pop up.
- Or the next step needs a wad of cash thrown at it to do it right and I'm not liquid enough for the full amount.
- Or something else becomes subtly more emergent.
For some reason I start to get low background anxiety about some inhibitor.
When I finally find the reason, and resolve it, my enthusiasm immediately rockets again.
If getting it done *becomes an emergency itself, well, that helps overcome the anxiety of the inhibitor (sometimes) and I can complete, though unsatisfactorily.
In the business world it's called *'Emergency Management'.
For me, the inhibitor is always tough. Tough to find and/or tough to resolve.
Which is kind of a 'duh statement', because otherwise it wouldn't have inhibited me.

Exactly this.

Wow, am I on the wrong thread.
I usually consider English as my Second language and I don't have a first. =/

English is actually my third language, sarcasm being my first and miaoispeak being my second (miaoi! meow meow miaoi mewmew).

I love that you learned Elvish ^_^ My sister (non-AS but with issues of some sort) taught herself Klingon.
Elvish is what catapulted me into the world of languages. Tolkien was such an amazing linguist, and the site I learned it from was done by a linguist. Before that, I was good in my English grammar work but I hated it. That was about 10 years ago now, and every once in awhile I'll slip some into my Greek! It's stuck with me more than almost any other language.

My ideal goal is to be able to read or hear something in a language I consider "foreign" (not English), and be able to translate it directly to another language I consider foreign without using English as a medium, at the same time translating it to ASL. Really this is just because I want to see if I can, and it would be really cool. ^_^
I have trouble translating exactly into English honestly. It's like my mind understands foreign languages as concepts better than words and putting them in English just gets in the way, like playing Telephone. I understand what it means, I just have a hard time putting it into English words.Monkeybuttorama wrote:
(On a related side note, if you ever want help, I'm a fountain of creative solutions to tricky problems, and I'd be more then happy to assist if I can ^_^)
Ditto! I might be awful at sticking to plans but I'm good at making them
I feel like I just wrote a novel :-/
