I've been thinking a lot, lately. (It's a dangerous business, don'tcha know.) As an actress, I'm my own worst critic, and even as we opened The 39 Steps this week, I keep thinking, I'm a fraud, I'm no good, why do I even bother..etc. Then, I saw a quote that one of my TRULY artistic friends found.

"If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends), 'Am I really a writer? Am I really an artist?' chances are you are. The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death." - Steven Pressfield

Well, there you have it. That's me. Scared to death.

So in light of all my fear and insecurity, I found a list of what not to do as an artist.
What NOT to do. )

That's it. A must read for all the writers, photographers, artists, actors and other creative types out there. Keep on!
