Art & Fear
I could definitely relate to this reading, and there were parts that particularly resonated with me.
When she talked about not being a "real artist" I could really relate. I had never really considered myself an artist and always felt like I was trying to be something I wasn't when I did art. While I loved doing art I never felt that I would be considered a true artist.
I also really liked how she talked about doing your best work versus doing YOUR work depending on who you are doing art for. You have to do your art for yourself and produce what is your best and not lose yourself to try to please other artists.
Lastly, I really like how she talks about how people feel that there is a special magic that makes producing art easy and beautiful. I used to think that if it didn't just come then it wasn't real art. The more I work the more I learn that sometimes it is easy, but other times you really have to work for the end product, and that both can produce real art.
