I am an artist. My skills and talent are in the fine arts. I produce greeting cards and prints for paper products. I have a ton of them ready to mail with a querry letter and special packaging, in hopes of a greeting card company wanting to buy my designs. I even have the addresses and names of the Art Directors of these companies. But I can't seem to mail them. They have been sitting in my studio now for over a year. What is my problem? I have also posted this question on psychology category as well.

fear of rejection and fear of the loss of ambition. face those fears and realize that a child falss hundreds even thousands of times before he/she learns to walk. and realize also that everyones taste are different so you will have some rejection and some will love your work . everyone is so diverse. you could be sitting on thousands of dollars and the next line of cards as well as being the one solely responsible for bringing a wife and husb. together a sick or dying child a smile or a grieving wife a smile or a co-worker a laugh etc. do you want to have that kind of talent and beauty in your hands and keep it hidden in a closet while the smiles could be endless???

In my opinion, you are afraid of failure. As long as you still have them, then you also have the possiblity of someone saying they want them. If you send them out and you get rejected, then you have lost that hope.
Mail them.....and good luck.

Are you afraid of being turned down? Set yourself a goal of what day you're going to mail them out and STICK WITH IT. You'll never know what might become of it if you don't try. If they turn you down then you know.

Scared of rejection deep down. Ask someone to post them for you if you cant! Good luck!
