I understand the concept of being humble, but I don’t know
if I’ll ever understand how writers, or any artist for that matter, can’t seem
to bring themselves to get excited about their own work. If they don’t love, believe in, and expect a
great reception and good sales for their art, why on earth would they expect
anyone else to do what they won’t?
Artists MUST get to the point in their lives where other
people’s opinions don’t dictate their actions or attitude, which is, of course,
a panacea of contradiction, because artists’ success depends wholly on other
people’s opinion. Artists must produce
a product that the public will love, purchase and embrace. Success or failure
depends on acceptance.
An artists’ love for their own work is the first step toward
success. Creating a marketable and saleable product is the next. Keeping a
balance between modesty and drive is crucial.
So, get excited and enjoy the ride.
Till next time,
~T.L. Gray
