What Do You Think?

Noah talked about the long, long journey towards finishing Cloud Country. He made several versions over many years and had to start over numerous times.

Have you ever worked on a personal project that you had to fight through for a long time… and maybe even had to restart?

Was it worth the struggle? What did you learn in the process?
