Sometimes the daily action can create its own context of progress. Daily action: Work on my graphic novel, mostly by drawing, intermittently by sitting down and planning out the next dozen or so pages. Don't beat myself up if other stuff gets in the way now and then, either, just shrug and get back to it the next day. Context that shows progress: A finished page, up on my website. A finished chapter on my site. A finished book, in my hands after a Kickstarter. Three finished books and a delightfully oversized omnibus on my shelves after their own various Kickstarters, and a Patreon page that occasionally pays my rent. I sure as hell learnt a lot along the way, too. Drawing the individual panels was easy, I already knew how to draw. But dealing with a five year project? Self-publishing? That, I had to learn.
