Sometimes the harshest critic is the one in your head. What if
instead you had faith in yourself, and what you're making?

It's a familiar, paralyzing fear that not only keeps you from
creating your best work, but can also make you question your own
worth. Novelist Brandon Taylor knows this fear intimately. And in
his new book, 'Minor Black Figures,' his characters - maybe just
like you - are tortured by harsh online criticism from random
keyboard warriors, and their own inner saboteurs. In this episode,
Brandon joins Brittany to talk through the "double consciousness"
of creating art today, and what it means to have faith as an
artist.
