Advice for Those in War Between Fear and Art

To overcome the war between fear and art, lower the stakes and view your work as a diary entry. Remember that it doesn't define you for the rest of your life. If you like it enough to show it to a friend, it's ready to go to the world. Release small creations into the world and build momentum. Get past the idea of perfection and the fear of this defining you forever. Each version is just a snapshot in time. Through this process, you will build the confidence and ability to create.
