Great, actionable suggestions! I suspect this fear is also what prevents many writers (and other creatives) from sharing their work to begin with. This is why I think it's so important to always have more eggs in your basket, so to speak, and to be working on something else as soon as you finish one project. (I'm admittedly bad at this, but trying to get better). You also need to have a definite Why for what you're doing that goes deeper than money or outside affirmation.

Thank you, Alex!
And everything you said is true. Art is so personal, and no one wants to share a part of themselves and end up feeling like a fool.
I love the idea of having more eggs in your basket. I've always got two or three projects going at once.
I'm glad you mention having a strong WHY. That'll get you through when everything falls apart.
Thank you for the excellent reminders.
