For instance, I like making clothes in Second Life. There are a *lot* of people who make clothes there, but I wanted to do it too, so I did. This is an example of doing something you like doing, even if someone else may be able to do it better.

An example of concentrating on what we do well is how I concentrated on clothing textures, rather than using sculpties like I've seen many other clothing designers have used. I had decided to not try including sculpties in my first clothes because I didn't feel I could create them as well as others, and I thought sticking with what I knew I could do well would be better than adding something that might detract from the total product.

Very well said! I'm going to hang this on my wall!

But, it's true. I love to build and create things and I know lots of people who are much better at it than I am. It's interesting what you said about mistakes, because in most of my builds it is the mistakes that help to determine what the project will look like at the end. I really don't start a project with much of a plan!

Thank You!

Re: "Many builds and products in SL are part of an iterative process and many have forgotten this fact, or do not understand the process at all.", VERY VERY true and understated. Most people see the end result, not what happened "inbetween" — which is essential!

@CyFishy: To the point. I like it!
