When I read the article imagining I didn't write it, I get to the part about suspend judgment, 1) at the beginning, and 2) towards the end, and I think: "What are you talking about - gad-zooks, that's all the time !" We can't help but look at our work with a critical eye at some point. That's what I need at this moment too. I need to be reminded again and again in fact, and in every moment too, that it's more a question of proportion / balance, and not one of shutting up our critical mind once and for all.

As always, your article topics seem to come at just the right time for me. I will be implementing the steps you have written and explained so concretely as soon as I get back to my current work. Also, the steps will help me 'deal with' feelings about some completed work I have been questioning. Thank you! Monica Another wonderful article, Celeste!

The fact that it's hard is probably a good sign though. Revising is when the real creative work takes place. I just broke through a stuck-ness myself. It wasn't coming to life no matter how often I kept down the same road. I had to let myself use the same old approach over and over until I had nothing left to lose. Then it felt safe to try what I was itching to try. That's how I discovered a new direction. Again. Let us know how it goes and what happens, won't you ?

The list of questions will be useful. I am going to try the "seeing" part. It will be hard, though.
