At the end of this process, you will have learned a huge amount, and you'll have got yourself a lot further down the track to becoming an established designer. Your designs are lovely. I'm sure they will be popular.

That happe...It's good that you know your cycle. That happens. Life is more like a series of circles than a straight line of productivity, I think. Keeping a list of your accomplishments, though, can be a good reminder on the off-weeks :) <br /><br />And you're right. Having people reject your creative work is like having mean kindergarteners reject your children. Ouch. But I encourage you to look beyond people's approval as your metric for success. No matter how good your book is, there are going to be mean kindergarteners who don't like it. I have to keep reminding myself to write for an audience of One--because even when the world shrugs and looks the other way, if I'm doing it for Him, my Father is always cheering.

And I can imagine that it would be a tremendous amount of work... sometimes frogging one's writing like one frogs knitting, and feeling discouraged as a result.<br /><br />As for the comment thing, I rarely comment on blogs. But I'm trying to be better about that. Wordpress.org blogs have templates that allow for 'threaded' comments, so that you may specifically respond to comments and have a discussion. I haven't really made use of this function and regularly kick myself about that failure.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04343685271510850819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558879415972386895.post-71134157938083762922011-10-23T07:25:49.495-07:002011-10-23T07:25:49.495-07:00I think every writer and creater goes through the ...I think every writer and creater goes through the same worries and feeling that you are. Imagine if they all gave in to their inner turmoil and quit. I know you won't give up and I am glad. Some of my favorite books are from people who said, " I just wrote the book for me, I didn't think anyone else would like it".<br />You just watch, more people will care than you ever imagined! :) <br />BTW your sweater looks adorable!Andi Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485169918502446857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558879415972386895.post-88871035166199981162011-10-23T00:59:31.805-07:002011-10-23T00:59:31.805-07:00Of course people will care!

I do not answer to the people who comment on my blog but like you, I do go on their blog and comment. The thing is, if I answer, I wonder if they will think that they should answer my answer and where does it stop? Bottom line, I hope this does not make me a bad blogger because I really appreciate reading other people's comments!Marysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05150165052713846615noreply@blogger.com
