Dan Olson at #xoxofest really struck a chord with me talking about his anxiety spiral as an artist dealing with envy: “I could do that. Why am I not doing that? What could possibly go wrong?”
So many projects I’ve never finished because of this consistent blend of envy and arrogance and discontentment. Trying to make projects Good like the Good Things I admire instead of just making the thing for the sake of the thing!
