With every new artproject I feel like this will be the time I will be found out. Now I will be exposed as a faker; who do I think I'm kidding, etcetera, etcetera.

It's good to be reminded this happens to everyone, especially when it comes to the creative process;)

What helps for me is to ask (out loud!) if I am having fun, if I am enjoying myself, with this fiddling, this experimenting, this thing I'm doing. When the answer is yes (which is most of the time, even while I'm cursing the muse or materials;) then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks (yeah, right). But seriously: it's okay if it's a struggle for a bit, but above all the process has to offer you something, whether it's a way to get things out of your system or to simply endulge in the process.

Did this make sense? I just wanted to thank you for sharing this:) *snuggles* Onwards with writing and arting \o/
