Art and Self-doubt

I bought a book last weekend called Art & Fear: Observations on the perils (and rewards) of artmaking.  I have yet to determine if it’s a good book, but there have been a number of good points made that I wanted to share.  Especially for the very reflective individual, I found this particular quote quite telling:

Making art precipitates self-doubt, stirring deep waters that lay between what you know you should be, and what you fear you might be.
