I know its hard to see them as realities, but in the past year alone, I feel like we have taken 100 steps closer to fulfilling our dreams which makes me believe that everyone else can too! <br />(your bakery idea sounds really sweet, what about a bakery/book shop full of children's books and stuffies! Sound heavenly!!)becahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11678627563483445451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085217744037545792.post-76150222659263962322011-06-18T18:28:58.089-05:002011-06-18T18:28:58.089-05:00I love this "rant!"

I am currently a freelance-writer who dreams of writing children's books and running a small bakery complete with sidewalk-chalk-drawn advertisements. I am also a completely self-taught crochet(er) who makes stuffed animals and dreams of selling them on Etsy. I will admit to being intimidated by the Etsy rockstars out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085217744037545792.post-80725070962850488522011-06-18T17:25:59.118-05:002011-06-18T17:25:59.118-05:00Patience, it does make it harder, but I think that...Patience, it does make it harder, but I think that it is a fair playing ground. There will always be competition and those who really work hard and believe in themselves, will persevere. <br />There are many people who I know who are incredible photographers and use a point and shoot, and some who are not so great, but are considered pros because they have 5000 dollar camera + equip. It's all relative. people shouldn't be discouraged to start small and stick with their dreams. I have looked back to some of my favorite etsy sellers/bloggers/artits, and they were not who they are now. it takes time and it's okay to diy everything you can! <br />My only real point it that it is sad to see people just give up, or lose fifth because there are so many judgements floating around...<br />oh, and we should be more supportive of anyone dabbling in the arts. that is all. thanks for the conversation.becahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11678627563483445451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085217744037545792.post-18136854579697135332011-06-18T15:02:52.206-05:002011-06-18T15:02:52.206-05:00great post. it's clear you put a lot of time a...great post. it's clear you put a lot of time and effort into it which makes me enjoy it more. <br /><br />it's funny a friend and i were talking about this just yesterday (sort of this). she was saying the same type of stuff about all the photographers that have suddenly popped up with their blogs and websites stagers and...it's great but it does make it harder for people who have spent years and years honing their skill and building a client database.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085217744037545792.post-25899440174256973742011-06-18T14:38:29.675-05:002011-06-18T14:38:29.675-05:00Here, here!

It made me feel ten times better, because I usually feel like I can't be like the other kids in the industry because I'm still just starting out and don't have an awesome camera yet, and I drew all my own business cards. Glad DIY supporters still exist! I sure am one :)Laura Wynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00583631083762827658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085217744037545792.post-70502727973506513422011-06-18T03:03:29.548-05:002011-06-18T03:03:29.548-05:00Really love this post!

It is so where I'm at right now.<br /><br />I don't have a fancy camera, fancy craft or baking gear so pretty often I feel left in the dark and like it's not worth putting out what I've done because it's not up to standard. It's hard not to get intimidated and put off of what you want to do when you compare it to some of the bigger blogs.emilykiddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764673912563246510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085217744037545792.post-56259282065262871342011-06-18T01:47:30.155-05:002011-06-18T01:47:30.155-05:00Douglas is a big reason why I posted this.

We have been talking a lot about the way artists treat each other and how being public artists and putting your art out there can change your life, in good ways and bad ways. Its overwhelming sometimes. My brain is kind of all over the place right now, but yeah. He was apart of this post.becahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11678627563483445451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085217744037545792.post-81052237473090695642011-06-18T01:33:53.641-05:002011-06-18T01:33:53.641-05:00hah, so the title thing, totally thought it was go...hah, so the title thing, totally thought it was going to be a post about your man. <br /><br />truth; this was better. well, i can't say that, i don't know him. but i liked this, a lot. and i agree.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254442932740371017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085217744037545792.post-36114497295937910162011-06-18T01:06:57.817-05:002011-06-18T01:06:57.817-05:00I love this post, the idea behind it, and you!
