A friend of mine is teaching herself how to paint; she sent me a picture of what she is working on.
I said: "It's beautiful."
She said: "It's nowhere near being done. I keep having to talk myself into taking the brave strokes."
In the dark of early morning, when I sit down to write, I hear her words.
I think: go ahead, take a chance, make a mess, make one brave stroke.
Those words help me. Maybe they will help you, too.

Jocelyn They will! Good advice. I'm a library student and have taught elementary school lessons using the Mercy Watson books. Having that kind of material makes teaching fun and easy. Thank you.
