Q: sometimes i am paralyzed by worry that i'll never meet my own standards and i'll disappoint everyone who believes in me. i know I'm not brilliant, but sometimes i worry i am not even mediocre. what do i do to stay motivated and avoid falling out of love with everything i create?
A: maybe it would be good to study some of your favorite creators, and hear their story about what they've gone through. i think you'll find that most of them are very very very familiar with the exact feelings you just described
