You know, when I saw those sad buckled zines that no one picked up I felt down for a second but it was a great opportunity to see it with fresh eyes and make it better. We have definitely been guilty of not wanting to put something out there until it was perfect or ready, and with these tangible zines and prints, for some reason, I don't care at all! Good luck with those projects that you've been feeling lackluster about, I hope you find a breakthrough that feels right. -Diana

Live and Let Gift (A post about zines)

> It was liberating to make something purely experimental, almost speculative, like a rough draft that I was ok with people seeing.

This is how I feel when I make a new website project. I imagine the feeling is stronger with physical creations. 

Also, I'm impressed you didn't give up after those first zines weren't super popular. You're inspiring me to stick with a few projects I've been feeling lackluster about.
