Eloise,
Don't give up on yourself! That's an order!!;)
Knowing your liking for art, this'll maybe cheer you up: I'm useless at anything artistic (apart from photography but that's an anecdote for another day!) and my son, who was 12 at the time said to me one evening "Dad, I've got to draw a ship at sea but can't seem to get it right, can you help me?", so, 'Chopper' decides to help out and have a go, draws what he thinks is a fair representation of a container ship riding the waves and the boy says thanks, takes the drawing to his room to work from it.
Weeks later it's parent's night at school and his art teacher says, "sorry but his artwork is somewhat immature for his age group", just as she brings out MY drawing which the little bugger (got to give him credit though!) had simply added his name to!! Immature? I was 39 at the time!!
Now get your arse out of bed, get in the shower, get some 'slap' on, write a couple of chapters of your current novel, do GG some sketches (I'll have one of an overturned rowing boat on the beach please, in charcoal) and tonight go down the pub for a few wines and some social interaction. Or else, I might have to reprimand you again![:X]
Happiness and light to all,
'Chopper'
Let us pray to Him who holds Life’s issues in his hands—
Him who formed the mighty globe, with all its thousand lands;
Girding them with seas and moutains, rivers deep, and strands,
To case a look of pity upon Kathleen-Ni-Houlahan!
James Clarence Mangan 1803 - 1849
