I just received a request from a publisher for some illustration work. At first, I felt the joy of someone recognizing and liking my work! But then, self-doubt kicked in—can I really do this? We need to kick self-doubt out the window and share our work! Thank you for sending your thoughts into the internet today 😁

It’s easy to forget that they have already seen my work, and want more! 😂 Most of the time I feel like I am just pretending to be an illustrator 😆

I shared a brownie!! It was a little over baked, and whilst I was really into eating it at first, it's subsequently given me heartburn, but I did it. Was there a hashtag hunny? I can't remember xx

I am currently in my business car, working my way through a Tin of half arsed brownies 😂 I had foot surgery in the first week of the course and having something to focus on has sooo good. Although my insurance won’t cover me driving at the moment. The Goodship captains are certainly keeping me busy. And each task I do. I reward myself with a brownie. So once I sorted. I can drive to get more ingredients. Apologies for the ramble. Medication and enthusiasm 😃
