Oh dear. I found out last night that I can't take criticism. Even criticism that is from friends who want to help....even when it's framed so it isn't my fault....
I am mortified with myself. I felt myself beginning to tear up and knew I shouldn't cry so I just went real quiet. Why can't I take advice and use it and not have it affect me personally? Maybe I'm just not used to it. On the other hand it could be that I immediately accept any criticism and then feel really bad about letting people down.
Yes, I think that's it. If I feel I've not done as well as I could have I feel very guilty and that makes me very sad.
Jeeze, I need to grow up or something. Hee. I need to go on Dr Phil.
On the other side of the emotional spectrum I am very excited about our screening tonight and keen to see how the audience reacts to it. Almost all the people at the premiere on Sunday already knew the story and had been there for the shooting. If not, then they knew people in the movie and had access that way. I am wondering how it will affect people seeing it cold.
...and like hix (Or was it Lee?) pointed out: will anyone be moved to tears in the absence of sleep deprivation?
Looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow and then spending the day in craft-creating bliss.
