Dealing with Criticism: The Importance of Keeping Your Own Voice

Wren said: "The problem we artists have is that while the rest of the world has critics as well, we are, by nature, more sensitive to the negative feedback of others. In order to continue to do what we do, and do it for ourseves and not to please others, we sometimes need to develop a sense of 'Yeah, you hate it. Too bad. It's my art and I love it because it is MINE."

"And being a sensitive soul myself, I fully understand how much easier said than done this all is! Keep your own voice!"
