Summary of Austin Kleon 's Show Your Work!

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 The myth of the lone genius is that an individual with superhuman talents appears out of nowhere and creates a masterpiece. But creativity is a collaborative act, and good work is not created in a vacuum.

#2 Amateurs are the ones who are willing to try anything and share the results. They take risks, experiment, and follow their whims. They know that contributing something is better than contributing nothing.

#3 The best way to get started on the path of sharing your work is to think about what you want to learn, and make a commitment to learning it in front of others. Find a scene, pay attention to what others are sharing, and then start taking note of what they’re not sharing.

#4 When the late film critic Roger Ebert went through several intense surgeries to treat his cancer, he lost the ability to speak. He lost his voice permanently, but he still wanted to communicate with the world. He wrote thousands of words about everything he could think of on his blog.
