Hey there! I personally think that critiquing a project is anethema to talent. When I'm creating, I try to worry about quantity rather than quality, and it seems to work. Much less pressure.
i think what i meant to say was 'inversely' proportional.
it's seems like there are so many people of dubious talent and are under the impression they are great, that they churn out massive amounts of work, self promote with no reservation, and then they 'are' great.
i don't know. maybe i should think about this more.
ps. i am trying to cheer you up.
the best cure for my artistic block is sleep deprivation.
