That’s a great line for answering our inner critics when they say the thing we’re working on is garbage.
Of course. And your point is?
When the critic asks why we’re wasting time on that, a great answer is
So what? I’m doing it anyway.
Guess who’s spending hours and days on something she has no talent for?

ha! a very good point skippy. I like your cartoons!
I’m getting to the point where I don’t care what Anyone thinks.
most especially a judgmental type that critiques whatever I’m doing.
to think I spent too much of my life worrying about just that! 😀
The advantage of growing older, we don’t have to pay attention to them. We just continue doing what we love. 🙂
I like this cartoon. I always seemed to be my own worst critic when making something. I learned to not worry about the imperfections and work with them instead.
That’s the important thing. 🙂
Love this…and those are the best answers. We quilters always say there are no quilt police, yet we see and point out our own mistakes. But I don’t care, finished is better than perfect. One quilter says there are pointless people and pointed people…pointless meaning they are not into perfection but into finishing a project. Most non quilters would not know what is wrong anyway.
It sounds as if you are part of a supportive group. That helps a lot. 🙂
i like it! And a project is not wasted if we enjoy doing it!
Amen to that!
a few days ago a question on one of my fb groups about aspects of perfection or similar. And I said I had no choice with my hands but if anyone was wondering “did the artist know it was crooked?” Me “whatever, move on if it doesn’t appeal” 🙂
Yes!
thanks for the comeback, I have regular conversations with my own personal critic, ME. its true.. I think I can remember And your point is???
I taught classes once on dealing with difficult people. The most difficult, of course, are our inner critics. 🙂
That may be the best comeback ever! Only wish I could revisit a couple places in my past to use it (lol). Oh, who am I kidding … the old me would have been far too timid. Thanks for the smile!
The advantage of growing older. 🙂
Go with gut instinct. What you see and enjoy is what counts. Creativity is all in the inner eye!!
Enjoy the process and see what happens. 🙂
Great cartoon! I need to memorize that line.
🙂
I was taught that only God made perfect things so every man made thing should have at least one mistake in it.
As to point of view in a painting, there is a model railroad backdrop in St Paul, Minnesota, where the view of the city always looks right as you walk down a long aisle. I have never figured out how the artist did that.
That would be fun to see.
