As a creative, the only thing that truly counts is the work you ship.
Preparing to do the work is not the same as doing the work.
Crafting something and never showing it to the world doesn't count.
What matters is the process from idea to a finished product that you share with the world - something you've shipped.
Increasing the volume of work you ship is the key driver of your creative success.
The more things you ship, the better you'll get.
Ship your work. It's the one thing that matters most.
