One of the reasons we stop creative efforts is we feel we're not getting the praise we want. 
Another reasonwe've quit is we decided our creations are not as good as others. So what? It's yours.

We must stop comparing our projects to  other people's. I love to paint and sculpt horses. If I  go online, open an art book or go to a gallery I'll quickly see that mine are not the same as the pros. Should I stop doing something I enjoy? I don't think so.
