Do you have any Negative Nellies in your life?
You know, those people who feel the need to tear you down lest you start feeling (gasp!) confident about your work or yourself.
It may be a relative, a friend, a coworker or even your sweetie.
Well, phooey on them, I say!
I had a recent run-in (run-down?) with my Nellie, and I'm afraid I really let it get to me. To the point that I even lashed out at one of my Supportive Susans.
Sorry, Sue.
Anyway, after much thought and grieving over the situation, I've decided that Nellie's opinion just isn't important.
If I want a critique, I'll get one from my critique group or another professional. If I want someone to oo and ah, I'll seek out my Supportive Susans.
And if, for some really bizarre reason, I need to feel like poop, then I'll dig out my portfolio to show Nell. :-)
Phooey, I say!
