Word of the Week #237:
I have always thought that presenting your art is a lot like presenting your bare body.
Some people like to show off what they’ve got to everyone in the world, some wouldn’t look at it themselves if they could help it, and most of us are somewhere in the middle. We may show some parts to some, other parts to others.
It can be daunting, right?
After all, everyone is a critic.
“I liked this. I hated that. I get what you were trying to do with this thing, but it doesn’t really work for me.”
That is not what we want to hear, right?
You wouldn’t want people to pay TOO MUCH attention. Who doesn’t have some insecurities, after all, right?
And yet, people paying too little attention is almost worst, isn’t it?
It’s just… exhausting…
So, how do I handle it?
Well, when I do figure it out, I’ll let you know. For now, I’ll just keep scampering.
