Austin Kleon, Show Your Work!: 10 Ways To Share Your Creativity And Get Discovered Quotes

Don't think of your website as a self-promotion machine, think of it as a self-invention machine.

Forget about being an expert or a professional, and wear your amateurism (your heart, your love) on your sleeve. Share what you love, and the people who love the same things will find you.

The best way to get started on the path to sharing your work is to think about what you want to learn, and make a commitment to learning in front of others.

Don’t talk to people you don’t want to talk to, and don’t talk about stuff you don’t want to talk about.

Comments outnumber ideas.

When you find something you genuinely enjoy, don't let anyone else make you feel bad about it. Don't feel guilty about the pleasure you take in the things you enjoy. Celebrate them.
