The broken return path

A paused drawing has no note about the intended next layer.

Short journal · Original editorial · A place for unfinished work

A paused drawing has no note about the intended next layer.

Unfinished work needs a reason to remain visible. A next action, a waiting condition, or a deliberate pause gives it a place. Keeping everything active can hide the few pieces that are ready to move.

Leave a sentence about the colour or shape to try next.

Do not confuse a tidy description with a useful result. Look at what the next reader or participant can actually do.
