Hi Mary,
In another area on the site, an interesting and irspirational book entitled "Art & Fear" is recommended and discussed. This might be one you'd like to get hold of (perhaps through Amazon.com), for some help sorting out the mix of feelings that we all bump up against from time to time in our art profession or vocation.
The link on this site is

You'll find specific links to Amazon.com in that thread.
Best wishes,
