Hardly anyone looks back wishing they’d made less art. Make the weird thing.

Regret about creative work runs almost entirely in one direction. People wish they had written more, built more, recorded more, and hardly anybody regrets having made something strange that only a few people understood. The risk you are weighing is smaller than the quiet cost of skipping it.

Make the odd thing you keep describing to people and never starting. Show it to two people whose taste you trust and leave it there.
