Somewhere along the way, I got it into my head that I should only upload complete, finished works. I'm not entirely sure when this crept into my life, but it did. I stopped uploading as often as I used to. I stopped getting feedback on my work, and I stopped feeling that connection I used to feel with the people who viewed it.
I used to upload everything. Doodles, scribbles, things I giggled over. But now I feel a certain amount of shame attached to a piece if it doesn't meet a certain quality standard. I feel like I'm embarrassing myself, or letting myself down.
But lately, I've realized I've been drawing less and less than I ever did. Eleven years ago, I was at my most active onmy galleries. I uploaded nearly daily. I commented and had conversations. The less I share, the less I do. The less I do, the worse I feel.
What if I let go? What if I shared more, and more often? What if I went back to posting up the random doodles, the things that in the past would never have seen the light of day - possibly wouldn't have even been saved?
Let's find out.
