It is Okay to Share

Really! It's okay to share. Parents and teachers tell us this all the time, and yet when it comes to sharing my art, whether it be photography or some other project I have just finished, I struggle with putting myself out there. Just recently, I have decided to come out of my shell and share, for better or for worse. What's the worse that can happen, right? I think my biggest fear is the idea of "things once done, cannot be undone." Is this a rational fear? Is this something that other artists have struggled with? I would love to hear from you.

For me, I have decided it is all or nothing. This weekend, I have created a Facebook photography page, an Ebay store, a Youtube channel, a Zazzle store, a Flickr account, as well as joining this site and setting up my page. I have also joined several groups on Fine Art America so I can pay it forward. I'll admit it. This is probably overkill on my part! Oh, before I forget, I want to thank another Fine Art America member, Brad Scott, because he paid it forward, as well, through several well-made (and easy to follow) Youtube videos. So, I thank him for getting me this far. My next step is to upload more than two photos to each site, which is all I could manage so far...

Elyza, you are doing a great job of coming out of your shell. When a butterfly comes out of it's cocoon it has to put up a big effort. If it were to get help from us the butterfly would die. The effort put out makes the butterfly strong so it can fly. You too, will fly.
