So funny to observe the hesitation, the nervousness, the maybe-I-need-to-do-something-in-the-kitchen-first angst that can—and does—often precede my undertaking a next step in my studio. Today, it was picking up a marker and doing some new blind contour drawings that had me feeling unduly timid.
Eventually took the plunge:

OMG! You describe that hesitation perfectly! I think many artists have it...I am so glad you dove in anyway - love your blind contour drawings. They make me SMILE!
I know what you mean! I'm very interested in your 'blind contour drawing'. And if you really draw blind - then the outcome is miraculous!
Doesn't it just seem crazy that the hesitation can persist so unwaveringly!!! But in we dive. I guess that's the key. Your smiles spark bravery to keep me diving. Thanks!
Mostly blind, but not entirely. Glad you've got me retrospectively mindful of my split-second moments of stealing a glance!!!
hahaha! WOW! you really went for it with gusto!! Yahoo! OMG, I see him! Hahaha! Dotty, thank you for making me laugh! :)
Always happy to spark a laugh!
Thanks for affirming my overcoming fear to take yet another plunge, Sheila.
