It's totally over-rated.....feel the fear (leg buckling, heart racing, brain burning!) and do it anyway? Cripes! Why, why am I doing this again??? Tomorrow I am presenting in front of a very academic crowd. Normally I would be ok with this but after todays critiquing experience I seem to have lost all my focus. It's all those big words that get me! I need one of those art speak dictionaries uploaded into my overworked brain immediately! Having said all that, I have to admit I am quite excited at the prospect of stretching my art practice beyond all my self inflicted boundaries. I will be enriched by my trials and tribulations. I have faith that the anxiety and worry I am feeling now is perfectly normal and all part of the feeling of the fear syndrome. I am not alone. Learning to learn again is a journey for us all. I will embrace it head on and do it anyway (this time tomorrow I will be relaxing, wine in hand, with my gorgeous and talented new friends.)
