You need to quit obsessing over perfection.<br /><br />And he might be right, but I hope not. ;)<br /><br />I'm glad you're back on the wagon.Myrna Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534358757278599925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210458456325604680.post-65171080860305723702010-09-04T08:18:50.977-05:002010-09-04T08:18:50.977-05:00Shannon, thank you.

I made it through week 12 of The Artist's Way, the whole book is about releasing yourself and having fun with your unique creativity.
