(My maiden name is Bray) There are soooo many Brays in Cornwall! Devon has it's own charm and beauty and I was very lucky to get a chance of escape. Oh how I needed it! ;)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17593348601123003194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164548994721698171.post-38241068903122086692009-12-08T10:40:13.572+00:002009-12-08T10:40:13.572+00:00Jessie no amount of criticism is easy to swallow b...Jessie no amount of criticism is easy to swallow but the main thing is that you've had the strength to turn your experience around and look at what needs working on. I was born in Devon but feel no affinity with the place because of strong Cornish connections, that said it's a lovely place to escape to.April Jarockahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00517334574543863066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164548994721698171.post-60675243963120211452009-12-08T08:39:37.738+00:002009-12-08T08:39:37.738+00:00I'm so very touched by these lovely comments. ...I'm so very touched by these lovely comments.

So often opinionated people, unhappy, jealous or downright 'up themselves' people can fell with just a couple of words and not realise how much hurt they can be responsible for. I hope they don't realise because if it's on purpose that's even worse. It's taken me a few weeks to get over some really horrid remarks someone made who I now consider to be immature, insensitive and thick. I know they didn't hurt me on purpose but they're not on my Christmas card list... By the way, your distinctive type of creativity is special.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164548994721698171.post-53044007251602451022009-12-07T17:19:56.062+00:002009-12-07T17:19:56.062+00:00I sure hope it was constructive..and not destructi...I sure hope it was constructive..and not destructive...Your illustrations are unique and gorgeous..and colorful...there something for everyone...keep it up..!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164548994721698171.post-69897057563333290792009-12-07T15:01:08.702+00:002009-12-07T15:01:08.702+00:00Recently I heard a talk given to kids by Barbara R...Recently I heard a talk given to kids by Barbara Reid, another published childrens<br />author/illustrator. She was telling them how crappy she felt when she received criticism from her publisher, but thanked him for his insight and then waited to get home to get angry and throw her tantrum;-) But like you, she works through it and moves on to make the changes necessary to conform to the requirements of the company. Doesn't make the criticism any easier to take though! So from what I hear, you're in good company! <br /><br />Theres also a situation that arose this weekend when a well known award winning author had a fellow want him to stop reading at an event because he wasn't enjoying the reading. (story is on my blog if you're interested. http://perpetualchocoholic.blogspot.com/) It was quite comical actually.<br /><br />You are one of the FEW that has been published! You are amazing and successful! Never forget that, even during the less positive times!Perpetual Chocoholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536475843763405457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164548994721698171.post-40770468020342056312009-12-07T14:39:46.954+00:002009-12-07T14:39:46.954+00:00Hey Jessie - your work is beautiful!
