Show Your Work by Austin Kleon
I'm not going to say too much about it because you need to read it (and when you're done reading it, read it again), but I will share the 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered:
- You don't have to be a genius
- Think process, not product
- Share something small every day
- Open up your cabinet of curiosities
- Tell good stories
- Teach what you know
- Don't turn into human spam
- Learn to take a punch
- Sell out
- Stick around
I will quite happily point out that Chapter 6 was the inspiration for this book being free on my website instead of a not-free e-book. Share what you know! :)
