Hi Kandice! I lurked for at least a year before I had the nerve to start participating in the challenges. I really had to let go of perfectionism before I could start posting, and some of my early entries (and later entries!) were pretty mangy. But once I realized how welcoming everyone is in this community, I really got into it! Over the last six years, I've posted well over 100 challenges, and I still participate when I can.

I encourage you to just do it! Maybe start with an older challenge that sparks your interest, rather than feeling like you have to finish something "on time," before the next challenge starts. Time pressure doesn't help me at all. :)

    I also mentioned to someone else that I need to turn my back on my perfectionism and go for it!

    Thank you,
