Dang nabbit, I should have saved all the drafts of this comment. Maybe within in all the mess you would have gotten my point. It was something about the fact that I agree and disagree with what you say.... Now I've gone all shy and can't express it. EEmmmh! eehh! The internet is a fickle place, be true to yourself and maybe you will find at least a few souls that like you for who you are, warts and all. The Headliners were once supporting acts. Something like that.

Technically, I'm not criticizing anyone. Just pointing out the opportunities. People are free to do whatever they want.
Sometimes people try to be so much of themselves, they begin acting in ways they think others would approve of, the good side only. That doesn't come across as genuine.
One can be a genuine entertainer if they want to. What I always enjoyed was the freedom to step in and out of character. Being myself one way might not work out, so I can change, try something else, just for kicks. Being myself right now, sitting here, talking to you.
I really don't take your post as criticism just a statement of the way things are. I think opportunities are open to all of us. There are many who fall at the first hurdle. Balming the game will not change things. Then there are those passionate enough to keep going or too suborn to quit. (I think this is my camp).
I write my posts mainly to get things out of my head before they are lost to winds of time, If any one is entertained by them, with their warts and all, that's great but it doesn't change my mission or approach, it just makes it a little easier for me as I know they are things worth sharing.
Being creative is a vocation, the trappings that come with success can be a blessing or a curse. So I for one won't let them change what I do or how I do it.
I know this may sound self-involved but, that is just me here, talking to you.
Some are great with their approach but still fail the personality test. You do a fine job. I don't just know you as the sand and ice sculptor. You share some personality as well. Can see it in your work and you'll take to the time show it the comments.
