I REALLY needed to hear this right now. Thank you for sharing your story. Sometimes it seems like things go so slowly. Plus there is the ever present tendency to beat ourselves up because obviously (we say to ourselves), we must be doing something wrong, or not devoting enough time or we're not destined for success or.... It helps to be reminded that (1) this is a normal part of the process at times, (2) the answer could be right around the corner and (3) QUIT comparing ourselves to others! Hi, Lou!

Yes I have done all of the above, from frustration and overwhelm to resination and plodding to YES I CAN. And although the I CAN feels a bit small it's only because I am comparing myself to others. And so I plod on in my tortoise-like way with the occasional rush of the hare. And the magic for me is when I relax and accept that my pace is not just OK, it's the best!

This is so much like my story... I also got a Comp Sci degree and was also the beginner in the Unix lab late at night trying to get the Sun machine to print "Hello World", with every other guy laughing quietly as they wrote compilers...Ahh those crazy days. I was certain I'd become a philosopher instead. I overcame my fear of it, got a minor in Philosophy and went on to win a Webby last year. I couldn't believe it. The "un-nerdy" "theater type". Whoda thought? Great post. Spoke to my secret nerd heart. Much love, Kat Unbelievable.
