I am liking this direction and it's all experimentation, so if it gets frustrating, take a break and then have a new stab at it. Even pieces we might end up not liking are still lessons for the next and what you might not like will undoubtedly be something someone else does.
I agree it’s nice when others like something you don’t, but it is so much more gratifying when you see others connecting with what you like. But what is really great is when you have inspired yourself and no one else gets why, it’s like you have a secret no one else knows.
