I too, have thrown work out without the perspective of time and SO know what you're talking about. Glad you have new strategies (as do I!) and the waiting definitely helps. And then seeing a piece improve and resolve successfully at the end is a great feeling! Thanks for joining the group and sharing your thoughts (and, btw, you didn't write too much--I always worry about doing that myself too!) :-) Sandra–thanks so much and I’m thrilled the post was helpful!

This post was beautiful! I joined your group and received your encouraging letter today and came here to find myself encouraged even more! Just when I joined your group one of my friends told me how she keeps following me on every single page and group I join and she can't see any of my links or work there. So I shyly posted a link. I fight with myself every single day. Many years ago I threw away plenty of my great stuff I drew and some miniatures from polymer.... in time I learned not to act in a moment but to wait for some time to pass to act when I don't feel down, angry, sad and to wait for reason to come. Many times I just keep on working with those feelings knowing that they will pass and not letting them stop me from being creative, and when I do that I get a reward - the work looks good at the end and I feel happy at that end. I hope this wasn't too much of my writing, but needed to share... Thank you again so much! :) Oh dear Sarah!

I really know that nervousness and anxiety about sharing work...it can feel like, well, I'll just casually upload a few bits of my soul here to Flickr, la.la. la....UGH! So glad you're doing it anyway, so glad the post helped, and you're right that so many people are supportive and nurturing--if only our mean voices were as nice! And Yay for joining the FB group, I hope you find it a source of inspiration and friendship as well! @ Ramona–YES!
