Do what scares you

When you're trying to take a step toward something you've dreamed about your whole life, the fear of failure is a very real thing. Even if you've had the creative impulse your whole life, it's so easy to avoid making a real effort to pursue your true passion because you're terrified you'll end up on the floor of the Reviews section, chewed up, vomited out, and utterly rejected by the industry you so love.

So sometimes, when you pick up a pen and take that first step, you need to do it while eating three-day-old pizza at ten o'clock on a Saturday morning.

If you're gonna feel nauseous, there might as well be a reason for it.
