I'll hold you to that, but I sure hope eventually is soon. :)


Ah ha!!!!! Got an entire batch of 44 accepted today. :)

I look back and can't believe how I couldn't see or understand the issues with my pictures. I know I still have a lot of room for improvement, but it is sooooo much easier now that I got my AHHA! moment.
Thanks again all, for your patience with my struggles.

I agree. Once you get it, it's not hard at all. Building up your portfolio can be an uphill climb, especially if you trap yourself into quantity over quality. I'm guilty of that sometimes. It's worth it when you see the steady increases in sales though.

Isn't it great to feel that way?? Just think all you have to do now is add a few thousand more :)

Knew you would do it so congratulations. Keep in mind that this is a marathon and not a sprint. I am sure you will do well.

Been here 6 years and still waiting for my "ah ha!" moment. LOL

Congrats. Much better than an "oh no!" moment. (still get a few of those...)
