So what if they don't like it

“What if I ship my work and they don’t like it?”

So what?

Lots of people won’t like it.

It’ll be too happy, too sad, too light, too dark, too professional, too silly, too loud, too quiet, too safe, too edgy, too something.

It’s not for them.

If you ship your work and they don’t like it, that’s great, they’re making room for those it’s for.

Ship away.
