Why does the prospect of stepping up to my table to create every day scare me? Every day? I was hoping that by now (day 21 of my art every day challenge) I'd get a little bolder. A bit more confident. I was hoping that the structure of showing up every day would make the process of creating art easier. That hasn't happened yet.
I'm just as anxious and as much of a procrastinator as I've always been. The main difference is that I'm letting my anxiety be my excuse any longer. Its become more like the process of jumping into cold water that actually isn't so cold after all. Once I get started and get involved with a project I'm able (most of the time) to feel comfortable and get into the flow.

Thanks Geri! It is very much like stage fright or taking a dip in the pool. Once I'm in I'm so glad I took the plunge!

Thanks Vicky, yes It is definitely putting me under stress but I really feel it is worth it. Working consistently has helped me to build and develop themes and techniques. I'm finding out so much about my strengths and limitations.
