I like doing things with others, but I am just as happy to be by myself doing things. My daughter is the same. As social as I am ( I can walk up and talk to anyone who will listen) I prefer my own company more!<br />I might be one of the statistics on your blog that reads for more than the pottery. My interest in pottery is lessening as my interest in just good writing grows. I like your recipe posts and as I said before, I found you by googling studios when I was looking to build my own, the post you wrote about your studio inspired me to get going!<br />Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713403129935944548.post-44752620714527214212014-07-04T05:26:38.233-04:002014-07-04T05:26:38.233-04:00you throw the spaghetti at the wall, see what stic...you throw the spaghetti at the wall, see what sticks :) IT IS hard for an introvert to get the work out there, but helps pay the bills :)Gary's third pottery bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517401528128108791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713403129935944548.post-34325730286955617692014-07-03T18:29:26.369-04:002014-07-03T18:29:26.369-04:00When I was a child waiting for the bus the bus dri...When I was a child waiting for the bus the bus driver thought I was scowling and it was just because the sun was too bright for my eyes, perceptions are so often misunderstood.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713403129935944548.post-21704399280096279142014-07-03T18:27:46.320-04:002014-07-03T18:27:46.320-04:00nothing wrong with pushing yourself, I admire you ...nothing wrong with pushing yourself, I admire you Michele, it isn't easy, one has to be organized and just go for it no matter what the perception, self or others. haLinda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713403129935944548.post-2162939481588206682014-07-03T11:02:19.097-04:002014-07-03T11:02:19.097-04:00It has taken me awhile (probably too long) to get ...It has taken me awhile (probably too long) to get over it and just start promoting my work. I came to the realization about 18 months ago when I looked at how my savings had dwindled... if I didn't want to look for a full time job I needed to start pushing myself a little harder.Michèle Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346907762804197879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713403129935944548.post-40502986071867271612014-07-03T10:42:19.116-04:002014-07-03T10:42:19.116-04:00Oh Linda, that's so true.

Sometimes I think I'm probably perceived as rude but I don't mean it that way. Too many people or too much activity is just too draining or distracting. I think talking about how pieces are made or where inspiration comes from takes the focus off the person and on the work.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.com
