You have been part of my life since getting all the three books. I keep them close to my "sitting" chair and working space. If I need a break, I pick one of them up... especially the "Show Your Work!"

I love Shiela Heti’s work. She writes such evocative sentences and is just an interesting person. I’m looking forward to reading Alphabetical Diaries, the premise is so intriguing.

I’ve read all of your books @austin Kleon Though at times I’ve taken hiatuses from social media, I’m back to “showing my work.” I’ve been posting my drawings and very short videos on IG, Substack and on YouTube ( though not consistently on YouTube). I try not to get caught up in how many are following, or watching, or anything. I just do me. I just do my work and feel good about that.

I personally had a difficult time with Show Your Work and eventually passed my signed copy on to a Little Free Library. What I found was that I could do my work or show it. I chose doing. As for sharing, I don't really want a large audience. I do share on a smaller, maybe more "immediate" scale. Keep Going, however, does keep me going.

The Joystick Jukebox sounds great! I listen to Sounds of Gaming (there’s also Sounds of Cinema) on BBC Radio 3 which is also great and I recommend! It’s on the schedule Saturday and Sunday afternoon - you can listen on BBC Sounds
