My first time reading The Owlet and I'm glad to have discovered it, particularly because this topic has been top of mind for me recently, although on the opposite end of the spectrum in that I'm trying to take things more slowly. In any case, I imagine for many of us who are on this platform writing, reading, and engaging in creative endeavors this sentiment will at some point in time arise, so your candidness in experience is appreciated.
Story of the pot always reminds me that it’s the whole body of work that matters, not just any one piece. Lot of weeks I publish something I know could be better - but getting it done is more important. Same goes for my video work. Sure, I have highlighted pieces that are my “best” but I would’ve never been good enough to make em if I hadn’t been forced to create new content every day. Great article!

Thanks Rick. I totally agree. The goal is to build a body of work, not just one great piece. It's all about constantly being at it!
