Work in a private place that allows creativity to flow. Although you're a social person, you can greatly benefit from solitude. Being on your own allows you to tune into your instincts. It keeps you from falling prey to harsh criticism. Keep your work secret until it gets to a point that makes you confident. At that juncture, you can show the fruits of your labour to fellow artists. You'll get positive feedback that helps you polish this gem to a dazzling brilliance.
