After reading this chapter, my views on art and the fears that surround it seemed put to ease, but at the same time, if you are doing it as a career, then what they think of your work is very important and thus making a fear that you might run out of original ideas or mess up a piece, for example… what I want to do in the future is concept art for the video game and film industries. My career and success will depend on how well I can communicate ideas threw art and at what rate.
If you produce one fine piece of work while the person next to you dishes out three pieces that are not as rendered but get the job done, there is a good chance the customer would go with the faster person over you.
But I do agree that you should always try to relieve yourself of that doubt and make the art because you like to and want to farther your skills.
As far as your art being your identification, yes you would still be who you are without producing piece after piece, and not all of your art is going to reflect who you are. But you can also put your mark into your work, your style or twist on things that makes your work different from all others, and sometimes people worry about how their work portrays them. This should not be an issue, if you enjoyed doing it, then what someone else sees you as should not matter.
Not to say that you should not listen to what others have to say about your work, being humble, and practicing humility is good. Take in critiques and let them help you to do better your work. You just have to know what to listen for.
