Nobody’s waiting for you to be talented. They’re waiting for you to make something.

Talent is invisible until it is attached to something finished, so nobody can be waiting for yours. What people respond to is a thing existing in front of them, and the internal question of whether you are gifted enough has no bearing on that. Waiting to feel talented is waiting for a verdict nobody is preparing to deliver. Making something is a decision available today.

Choose the smallest version of what you want to make and put it out this week. Do not describe it as practice or apologize for it in the caption. The thing itself is the only argument anyone responds to.
