Perhaps this is something you can't answer, but what will you do with it once it's finished?
Do another 6-10 and approach galleries - get them displayed. I've been working with it though, as I go. My process involves writing down words and sentences that come to my mind as I work, and then actively exploring them later, which seems to be working quite well (if I need to change my methodology, I will). I doubt any of these will sell quickly enough that I'll be without the chance to work with them over the next few months / year, but that being said, they're also too big for me to easily frame and put up and work with in that manner, so they'll still have to go into 'storage.'
As for coping with it once it has been created... it's a process I've had some practice with, I think. I never used to want to sell anything, but nowadays it's different. I'm sure there will be a couple of autodidact pieces I won't want to part with, but this is not one of them. Don't get me wrong, I love it personally, and would hang it in my room, but I feel like the issues it's brought up are already being dealt with so I'm not sure I'll need the visceral reminder.
