Creative Overpressure

"It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe." -Muhammad Ali

I've learned a lot on my self-publishing journey. I've learned that you have to shut out all but the "good" negative feedback and forge ahead regardless. You will always have doubts. In the end you must be in love with your work and look past the flaws and blemishes and just put it out there for all to see.

Creative overpressure is the feeling that no matter what happens you will still create it...whatever it is. So listen you writers, dreamers, planners and schemers just keep at it. Don't let the pebbles in your shoe slow you down.
