's journal. Linked by another user, it's really worth a listen for when you're feeling down or uncertain about being an artist, about being anything really.

It's hard to keep conviction when you've got your own voice telling you how awful it is and then a chorus of others coming in, but I shall try to remember that I do art for enjoyment and each step I take for my own betterment is a step worth taking. The pathway may be rocky, and dangerous, but you should be wary of the road of least resistance for a life without challenge is one without growth and interest. So, time to clear my plate of my current projects and keep taking more steps.
