Seizing the moment can be more complicated than it sounds. We hesitate for lots of reasons, whether fear of failure or a lack of confidence in our abilities. But part of a professional art practice is learning to work through those things that hold you back and grabbing on to whatever opportunities happen by. Will you get a yes every time? Absolutely not! There will be plenty of rejection as you move forward, but that is no reason not to pick yourself up, brush off the dust and keep going. Here are a few upcoming deadlines to motivate you.<\/p>\n

We know that you\u2019ll be told no more than once, but we also know that there is a yes waiting for you. All it takes is the determination to try and try again. And again. And again.
