Daily Ramblings: October 10th, 2026
The worst thing you can do when creating your own book, or really, creating anything, is doubt yourself. It can be completely immobilizing.
That said, it's happened to me multiple times throughout my life and career. I always feel like I can do better, that what I created wasn't good enough, or even that what I did was s**t, even when it was the best I could do at that moment.
I've had to learn to overcome that feeling, because if I let it control me, I never would have made this book. It would have been artistically crippling.
I've seen the same thing happen to other artists, and honestly, it's heartbreaking. So I keep pressing forward, page after page, doing the best I can.
Growing as an artist is a day-by-day process. the longer I do this, the better I'll get. I just can't let my insecurities get the best of me.
Have you ever struggled with self-doubt like this? What were you doing when it hit? Did you push through, or did you walk away? Let me know in the comments.
'Til next time!
