I think darkskies is ok bu the is at that point where people often get the journeyman level. It gets frustrating at times. You are really better than most of the riff raff but not quite good enough to hang out with the exalted ones. The riff raff don't ackowledge that you really have more skill and the exalted ones well they are better and you find them intimidating. They do not give meaningless praise but give advice and criticism.

I think it is a godo idea to stick with a program also I need to block out some time to learn my new programs. I know Wings so well I and do things in half the time so it often seems futile to me to use another program. (Mostly due to experience with the program)

I think if Darkskies gets past this part he will grow but he has to realise that well growth as an artist is often difficult and I have been in that situation before with music guitar player. I got pretty good and only wanted to play classical and jazz fusion and found all my playing partners gone and the people who I should be playing with too intimidating. I failed the test myself. Real growth is often difficult.
