    What are your thoughts on Process versus Production? 

    I consider myself to be a bit too process oriented, and I'm trying
    to curb  it or at least find a "balance." Somehow I seem to be able
    to get enough product  out the door to keep the bills paid, but I'm
    constantly catching myself getting  far too involved in
    experimentation with the process. This involvement does not  usually
    produce profitable results - well sometimes it does - but not often 
    enough to warrant becoming obsessed with finding a way to get some
    tiny detail  worked out... I find that when I finally find the
    process to refine  the little details, the profit on the piece has
    shrunk considerably! 

    I'm not seeking perfection, just very high quality.
