Working on things alone is, well, lonely, and it is easy to let the critic inside tear you apart before you get anywhere near the finish line. Sometimes before you even reach the starting line. Probably this is some manifestation of our subconscious fears of failure, success, being embarrassed, etc.

Kudos to you for working through the low point and I wish you success and, maybe more importantly, that you persevere and finish your project. Even if it fails, you'll feel better about it, and it will give you confidence in your abilities so you can go out and do it again.


Yes! Some more color or graphics are okay, but just the minimal, please thank you.
