Advice for Those in War Between Fear and Art

Your desire to create must be greater than your fear of it. Lower the stakes and treat your work as a diary entry. It doesn't define you forever. If you like it enough to show it to a friend, it's ready to go to the world. Start with small creations and release them into the world. Get past the idea of perfection. Put out each version as it is. Through this process, you build the confidence to create.
