I've been doing this for 16 years and work through the suck everyday. Eventually you learn to enjoy the process, YOUR process (good bad or otherwise), which is why we work for ourselves in the first place. It's comforting to know that I have such good company trudging through and forging our own way. Plus, I think your totally awesome! -e Hi Téa,

I think we can all relate! My husband thinks I'm a nutcase because I overanalyse and strive for perfection a little too much. It has to be worth it in the long run. I know that teaching high school was slowly killing me and I love that I can now have a creative outlet. It is worth the self-doubt. I wish you all the best - may it be only a phase. You are uber-talented. Hi Tea

Having tried my hand at the freelance web design caper - and having sucked miserably - I know how much is involved in your career of choice and how hard it can be. I bailed out and went back to steady 9-to-5 work. If you can make it happen, I envy you. Good luck Téa.
