si-lence
From dictionary.com:
1. The condition or quality of being or keeping still and silent.
2. The absence of sound; stillness.
3. A period of time without speech or noise.
4. Refusal or failure to speak out.
The only thing that holds me back is me. I know I have talent, but somewhere deep within I still believe it is not enough. I am not enough. My art is the only thing that approaches freedom of speech for me. Yet, I even manage to muffle that sound. I can create, but when it comes to finding avenues to market myself...I falter. I find it confusing that I was never afraid to market my skills as a web/graphic designer and now as a fine artist, I'm shaking in my boots.

im with ya. i waver between really knowing how awesome i am, and really wondering how much i suck. with other things - perhaps less "important" things - im much better at remembering my magnificence. for example, office work. (faeriemoon aka amylburns)
In this moments, I try to remember how much I have been inspired by others who, perhaps, also had a hard time believing in themselves. The world needs your art, Jen. Marketing is just a way to touch more people's lives. :-)
