The most important part of your work is the last 1% where you publish it. If you can’t finish a product and ship something, who cares about the first 99% of your work?
Maybe it’s great in a vacuum or in some theoretical sphere, but it never comes into play in the world we all live in.
It takes courage and nerve to publish the things you create and to expose your artwork and ideas to the examination of other people. But this process makes you incredibly strong and resilient. I also believe it allows you to become truly at peace with yourself. When the compliments are ignored just as much as the insults, then you can be at peace with where you are and the work you create.
