Show Your Work by Austin Kleon
I first heard of it from a YouTube video that I found myself on while looking for a solution to something else I was working on. I am not affiliated with this guy but you can watch it here:
The book starts off by saying this is an alternative to self-promotion. I will not be using this series as self-promotion but as a way of doing something new in my life. I read a lot of books, but I don’t note what I’m thinking at the time or explore the different rabbit holes that I find my mind wandering into while I read.
I’m reading off a basic Kindle. Don’t ask me which one. I can carry it around with me, so I can read in my spare time, if I have any. I am a homeschooling mom in a volunteer mission base in Africa. I also have a notebook that’s about the same size as the Kindle so I can bundle them together. I just jot down bullet points of stuff that jumps out at me from what I read and then later type out full thoughts here daily.
I thought I’d mention this just because the whole thing is about sharing the process.
