I can deal with constructive criticism. However, I have found in the past with other creative efforts that the minute I HAVE to do something, I lose all interest! Guess I never outgrew it from childhood! Now I will sell something after it is complete, but will not take pre-orders. As to my family and their opinions, well, they are welcome to them and if they start to push, well, I am a Taurus and it has been acknowledged by the entire clan that I am the most stubbon, bull headed woman on the planet so when I say enough, well, they know it is a waste of their time and energy to argue! (And I think I am a real pussycat - go figure!)
