Your work is lovely -- but, as for all of us, it has to come from the heart in order for the quality to be there.

I know my work sometimes don't always turn out how just how I want but I "Try" to stay true to ME, I have always found my best is as you say that that comes from the special place inside us, not for others, money or a judge. I have trouble w/themes I think they hold us back & add such limits.TeresaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7223363549750465364.post-75858132754315388132010-06-08T21:38:24.594-04:002010-06-08T21:38:24.594-04:00Susan, I read your post via my FB friendship with ...Susan, I read your post via my FB friendship with Erica Carter and I totally agree with you. It IS hard to resist the temptation to a enter show when you know your work is "perfect" for the venue . . . I just missed the deadline for a call for submissions for a book . . . at first, I tried to work something up . . . but my heart wasn't in it. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
