“Given the smallest excuse, one will not work at all.” ~ John Steinbeck

When Uncle John wrote those words, he was describing the creative process in general, writing in particular.  He was correct.

I gave someone advice today.  I don’t typically do that, but they asked.  “First thing you do when you wake up in the morning is say to yourself, “I ain’t apologizing for shit today.  Not a goddamn thing.  If anybody so much as suggests that I apologize for anything at all, I will politely invite them to kiss my entire ass.  Then maybe a right cross.”
Then, just don’t do anything you’ll have to apologize for.
