So true

Just spent three days doing something i’ve never done - probably badly

But good enough to publish

And learn!

My internal critic was super LOUD

But my deadline was louder

Starting from the bottom of the learning curve and having to work our way up it is what it's all about! I'm intrigued though - what have you been working on? Would love a link 👀

Great points Charlie!

I'm reminded of Rick Rubin who says that the core of an artist is the desire to share that which you've created.

You first create something and if you love it enough that you want to tell others about it...then that's what being an artist is.

Create what you love and then share with others. Because it is a gift!

Thank you Lenny - that's very true from Rick too. There's a fine balance between holding yourself to a high enough standard to produce art worth sharing and not letting your perfectionism ever let you publish. But, once we realise that we won't get it right the first time everything becomes a lot easier. Share to feed the feedback loop that will inspire you to keep on improving your work. That's what it's all about 🙏🏼
