((((((((((Thin Lizzy)))) Move away from criticism, the more criticism guides your work the more you lose the inherent beauty in it.. that's what I believe at least.. I used to over-analyze everything when i was a student (and in turn be far too self critical) and letting go of that after graduating was a major step to take, now I'm easing myself back into studying again (after the post traumatic stress crash) and I've found that making that transition has definitely been a breakthrough for my work in many respects. Stuff perfection, sometimes the most wonderful things are imperfect, and lord knows there are so many inherent imperfections in nature, but those imperfections are perfect in themselves!! YAY!! I'm not sure if that has anything to do with what you were trying to say or not but ??? when it comes to worth, who defines worth? It seems you're the one defining it at the moment, or your self critical ego is - Just tell it to shut up and keep pushing through :) Who ever said you ever need to "finish" something anyway? When is something finished? I find the answer for me is either "Never" or "when I decide to stop". There are so many beautiful works of art that are unfinished.. and they allude to the subject matter and that grips the viewer/reader/experiencer so tight and leaves room for contemplation and imagination.. like the building blocks of a story..
I'm rambling.. I'm sorry.. bless!
