I believe you, @fitinfun - and I've made drastic changes in the past ten years. In the Midwest, surrounded by processed food, red meat, nitrites, nitrates, sugar, pastries... beer! pizza! .... @agmoore2, you have so many talents - I would love to learn digital creations even a fraction as good as yours. Please keep writing! I learn so much from you and all of Freewritehouse!

You are really kind...but so creative I think all you need to do is sit down and decide to do it.  I have poor hand-eye coordination and poor spatial visualization.  Digital art is like therapy :))

Thanks for your encouragement, and I'm amazed you achieve so much with "hand-eye coordination and poor spatial visualization." For me, sewing and painting can be calming, so I believe you--"Digital art is like therapy" for you, apparently spared the techno-glitches that stymie me and freeze me up.
--Oh, I've tried... but maybe not hard enough. My expectations are skewed, living as I do with the uber-competent and talented Man of the House, who makes everything look easy, whereas "real" people may need weeks or months of practice and more practice to achieve mediocrity. He's brilliant. I'm a schlub. But that's ok; I'm a nice, harmless, happy schlub. :)

I *love* your cats.  They have personality &#128522;

One of the reasons I like digital is because it enables me to go around my deficiencies and still produce a result that matches my imagination (sort of).  

I don't think you read my blog about [school](https://steemit.com/hive-174904/@agmoore/impressions-of-the-third-grade-college-community-contest-1).  You can see there that  I early learned to accept my 'wiring' may be a little unusual, but that doesn't mean it's worse.   

Differences make us interesting.  Don't compare yourself to someone else... truly be yourself and embrace the originality that shines through in everything you do.  

I love your stuff and can't believe how fluently ideas and words flow from you.
