They are only ideas

Yes, but they are my ideas. They are born in my brain. They blossom in my mind, until they leak out through yarn or ink.
They are only ideas but they are part of me. That's why it's so scary to send them away to be validated or rejected. This act takes courage especially when you are new to the whole process - as I am.
Yesterday I worked hard trying to present two of my ideas in the best light possible. This morning I sent them away. What will be their fate? I must wait and see.
