Book Review

(Image courtesy of Amazon.com)


Finished this book yesterday...easy reading.  It makes some good points (and reminders) including:

*"Find your voice, shout it from the rooftops, and keep doing it until the people that are looking for you find you" (Dan Harmon quote);

*Share your process (take people behind the scenes of what you produce); 

*Share something small every day (and be choosy about what that is);

*Share you influences (books you read, music you listen to, movies you see, art you look at, what you collect, who you follow on line, etc.) -- it clues people in to who you are and what you do.

*Properly attribute when you post/share anything!

*Teach what you know;

*Share your trade secrets;

*"Part of the act of creating is in discovering your own kind.  They are everywhere.  But don't look for them in the wrong places" (Henry Miller quote);

*Listen; and,

*Always be a learner.

These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.

This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
