Hi Betty Ann: I really enjoy Feed the Monster! It's good to hear about your struggles. Your thoughts resonate with me. As you know I have also been struggling lately and am more than halfway through The Artist's Mindset Program. It is helping, bit by bit, but I realize I'm a slow learner and may have to revisit a bunch of this stuff, haha! What I have been feeling satisfied with is making a collage or two or three a day in my sketchbook (Creativity Journal). A few times I have thought, "oh these are cool, maybe I can make prints to sell ..." Then I shut that down and tell myself, no, just keep making these small works in a book for now. I am posting some on IG but feel that's not like trying to sell them. Anyway, it's day by day ....
Day by day, yes! I was just thinking the same thing. And I think it's totally normal to have to revisit stuff you're learning, especially when you're being overwhelmed with a lot of new information and/or ways of looking at things. There's no way to assimilate all of it at once.

I have this image of you being hugged by Struggles the Clown. Lovely image. Great newsletter!
Oooh, I'm not sure I want Struggles to actually *hug* me, haha! Thanks Kelsey
Yes we are all works in progress, haha!
Feed the Monster is a much better name! IMHO. So appreciate your subscription!
You deserve everything you get 😀
