Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon<p>It&#x27;s a short book with a bias toward action that&#x27;s changed how I interact with my work and share it with others.<p>Key takeaways:<p>- good work doesn&#x27;t market or promote itself [writing a great library doesn&#x27;t matter if you don&#x27;t have docs and examples to make it accessible to people]<p>- give people a convenient way to access your work [convince yourself that having a personal mailing list does not make you too self-important]<p>- share your side projects to create a feedback loop early [maybe they could help solve other people&#x27;s problems too] &#x2F; stop telling yourself &quot;i&#x27;ll ship this after i fix one more thing&quot;<p>- let good ideas bubble up from &quot;flow&quot; to &quot;stock&quot; -- for example, a few well received tweets might lead to a blog post which might lead to a whole book<p>- reuse the things you create across projects and mediums<p>- life is messy and uncertain, but you choose how you crop and present your experiences [share the interesting parts!]<p>My full chapter-by-chapter notes: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tedmiston&#x2F;notes&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;books&#x2F;Show%20Your%20Work!.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tedmiston&#x2F;notes&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;books&#x2F;Show%20...</a>
