The creative journey requires courage. It takes bravery to launch our work out into the world. We watch in anticipation, hoping it takes flight. If no one else notices, it’s easy to feel discouraged.

The mental image of a tree falling alone in the woods and wondering if it still makes a sound is a fitting illustration. Creatives of every style struggle with getting people to care about our work. In the midst of a consumption culture, just getting noticed is a challenge.

One thing we fear more than failure is oblivion.
