I have overworked and pushed and pulled and trained the whole year. It paid off, my students took first place in all their events. All the parents think of me as the teaching Goddess. All the kids love me. I'm the favorite with the adminstration as they see me put in long hours and work hard.<BR/><BR/>And yet, I've starved myself and stuffed myself and cried myself to sleep and overworked myself trying to prove something? I don't know what. I wish I could figure this week out somehow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584248569655542892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-65379256524943850312009-02-26T08:39:00.000-05:002009-02-26T08:39:00.000-05:00I'm so glad, that you've sent your work to pecanno...I'm so glad, that you've sent your work to pecannoot and that I have subscribed pecannoot.<BR/>I agree with you about fear/insecurity. It is the mother of everything negative, as far as I can think of. I'm not sure, how to find out the difference between fear and instinct. I think, we need to practice it. I just started mine. I'm glad to read your post as food for thought.

A fresh set of eyes and a different perspective? If I lived closer, I would totally read your novel and give you feedback :)Genie Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436772228339009624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-41529501066600819872009-02-24T20:24:00.000-05:002009-02-24T20:24:00.000-05:00Marta, I think we can acknowledge those demons, re...Marta, I think we can acknowledge those demons, recognize that they are trying to keep us safe... I mean, that's what fear is for, but once recognized, we have to just say, "thanks for your concern, but I've got work to do, and this gets in the way."<BR/><BR/>Even when the work is the scary stuff that you've been afraid of your whole life. Then... just go one step at a time. Even if the process is slow, at least it's moving. That's what I've been thinking about this etsy shop of mine. It's so slow, but that's the pace that I need to take right now.<BR/><BR/>Shelly, I'm pleased that you came along on the journey, it can be a rough one.<BR/><BR/>I love what you got out of it, Squirrel. It's so interesting to hear other people's interpretations.<BR/><BR/>and thanks VhrstiRowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146077261663557342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-63032143436533294132009-02-24T16:31:00.000-05:002009-02-24T16:31:00.000-05:00I too have been wondering about the deep insecurit...I too have been wondering about the deep insecurity.

It's so obvious you worked and worked, the first so fragile, each draft getting stronger and stronger, more and more confident. I love that you kept going, that it wasn't easy, that it shows that you struggled, that it was hard, and that a completely new level of your art was achieved.
