Please don’t put yourself down!
I know it’s easy to say, but there comes a point when comparing yourself to other developers isn’t too helpful. After all, for all you know, they’re millionaires lounging on a beach. Or out of work. Or they’ve hired a cast of thousands. Or any number of things. There are all sorts of reasons why they might be working quicker than you. Spending too much time worrying about what other developers are doing can hamper anyone's creative processes. I know it does for me!
Do what you do best, and work at the pace that works for you, and for your life as it is now. You might be pleasantly surprised to know just how trusting and patient your fans can be! We can wait!
Sure, a symphony can be written in a day. A novel can be written in a week. But no-one really ever does this. Even the really great names in history rarely do. That’s because art is *hard*. And we live in the real world, which often gets really messy. If it takes Tolkien years to write a single book, I don’t think you should put yourself down for taking a while to write yours!
So, if you can, try not to worry what others are doing. You’re doing just fine! That’s in amongst all the awful things that happening in the world around us, not least the things you yourself have been experiencing. Work at your own pace and, in time, you’ll have something really beautiful that everyone can enjoy. Good art takes *time*. Don’t rush it, and give you mind a rest when you need to!
And all the best for the nasty things you’ve been going through.
