You’re setting yourself up for disappointment if every time you sit down to make something, you expect to make something great. Show me a good song, a good book, a poem, a painting, and I’ll show you a hundred failures that came before it. And let’s not call them failures.

You’ve got nothing to lose and it may lead to something great.
