So, I’ve been busy this month, working on the middle grade novel, catching up on serious reading, and (still) researching agents. But I’ve also been working on the Picture Book Idea Month and enjoying the daily blog posts going on over there. This week, amongst the posts, I came across a link to artist Austin Kleon (and thank you, Liz Garton Scanlon for pointing me in his direction).
Austin Kleon has a book coming out (March, 2012) called Steal Like an Artist. And if you zip over and read this WHOLE post on “How to Steal Like an Artist (and 9 Other Things Nobody Told Me)”, you, the writer, will read something and think, Wow. That’s exactly what I needed to read today.
Or maybe you’ll be like me and find lots of somethings you needed to read. And when you read the last something, “Creativity is subtraction,” you will sigh and think, Oh, yes, that’s it exactly.

I like "#9 – Be Boring. (It's the only way to get work done.)"So not only does that explain why I get stuff done but also why I don't get out much… Hmmm… 🙂
So true, Madeline. Then again, writers can't AFFORD to get out much. So there's that. 😉
He had some really interesting quotes. Well worth the read, thanks for sharing.
Hey Cathy! Thanks. Visiting your blog is like finding extra money in my bank account. You amaze me. Have a great weekend.
I won't be zipping anywhere tonight – too tired. 🙂 I'll try and hop over there tomorrow and check it out. You amaze me, too. I don't know how you do it all!
Why do you always give me assignments? LOL Okay, okay. I know. It's good for me. I'll check it out right after dinner. 🙂
