Hello Hearty Mudcatters:

Who else has this concern? I'm going to do my best, but may have to adjust to a life of criticism, but also opportunity. I sometimes think about failure, and sometimes success. Writing good songs that become known is some kind of mandate for me, but I don't want to potentially spoil something personally sacred by risking failure.

That's the way I'm feeling. Please don't be annoyed at my lack of clarity here -- what is easy for some is not as easy for others.

What if I just bit the bullet and did whatever it takes, using small goals, then larger ones.
