One of my teachers once gave me some advice. Best advice I ever got. I'll share, but you don't have to adopt it as a philosophy. "Invest yourself (read your ego) in your work or in the work process, not in the product." When you do so. You: 1. don't expect comments (positive or negative) 2. don't feel it necessary to comment on comments. 3. feel that your work can stand on its own and belongs to the world. I don't understand your feelings. It's frankly hard for me to take them seriously. I guess artists, from time to time, DO go through some type of questionning. It's been like that for ages. I'll put it down to that. Slay the ego. Loose your head and come to your senses. Just create. Regards and luck, Q
