Especially when you make content that requires alot of effort spanning hours or days
Do you feel anxious until you actually post?

And this anxiety never goes, because there is always something more to produce

    I plan the video I want, shoot the video I can, and edit the video I have. I’ve been through this process enough times to know how it goes. Usually everything is fine along these steps. Sometimes I have to make adjustments, but I still get something useful. Other times, I end up trying to polish a turd in the editing bay (especially when there are audio problems, gat’dang those are frustrating). Occasionally something gets so messed up along the way that I scrap the entire project or even kill the shoot right there on set. I’ve only had to do that a handful of times though.

    Of course, creating good content that I am happy with does not guarantee the audience will like it. That has a lot of random elements and can’t really be controlled directly. The levers that drive audience engagement are unwieldy in the best of circumstances.
