Creation feels like standing in the middle of the ocean trying to start a wave

Metalabel's newsletter argues that starting a creative project feels like trying to start a wave alone in the ocean until others join in to build it. It highlights the zine Train Songz, whose fourth edition, launched on a Friday, reached more than 1,000 collectors within 28 hours, the fastest-collected release in Metalabel's history. The creator, known as The Conductor, credits Billy Strings' fanbase and daily posting for the growth of the account, which reached 20,000 Instagram followers, and says the account succeeded through specificity and consistency.
