I catch myself thinking similar thoughts a lot. For me, it’s not just that I might not be the best , or as good as other people, but that I won’t be good at it straight away. For instance, I have been thinking about getting back into drawing, which I’ve not done for nearly 20 years, since my Art GCSE. I really like monochrome drawings done with pen and ink...but I’ve not tried even doodling, as I don’t think I’ll be able to create the images that I want to. I might never be able to draw as I want to, but I definitely won’t if I never try!
So I think you should put whatever interests you on your website, and don’t be afraid to experiment and change!
I should really take my own advice...-
Haha, yes, it's much easier to give good advice than to take it, isn't it! I can relate to that reluctance to accept the (re)learning stage. The voice in my head tells me, "I should be able to do this!" without acknowledging that what I really mean "able" is that I have the potential, but it will take practice. Thanks for this. x
