What are some of the most noteworthy passages worth visiting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Show Your Work!<\/em>, Austin Kleon guides readers through his view of effective self-promotion. He advises you to publicly share it through your process, from the earliest phases to the finished product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read below for inspirational <em>Show Your Work!<\/em> quotes with explanations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-show-your-work-quotes\"><em>Show Your Work! <\/em>Quotes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Austin Kleon has risen to fame with his trilogy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/books-about-creativity\/\">books about creativity<\/a> in our digital culture: <em>Steal Like an Artist<\/em>, <em>Show Your Work!<\/em>, and <em>Keep Going<\/em>, which address how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/believe-you-can-succeed\/\">you can succeed<\/a> at your creative endeavors and how you can promote yourself effectively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Show Your Work!<\/em>, Kleon argues that the best way to promote what you do is to <strong>publicly share it throughout your whole process, from the earliest phases to the finished product<\/strong>. This allows you to focus on honing your skills while making yourself available to be discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the best <em>Show Your Work!<\/em> quotes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIf you want people to know about what you do and the things you care about, you have to share.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Many creative people hesitate to share their work because they don\u2019t feel they have anything worth showing. Kleon believes a solution to this problem is to <strong>share the <em>process<\/em> of creating, not just the finished <em>products<\/em><\/strong>. By distinguishing between these two aspects of creativity, Kleon seeks to reframe the idea of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/hub\/society-culture\/arts\/sharing-your-art\/\">sharing your work<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kleon offers three main reasons why you should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/share-your-work\/\">share your work<\/a> through your process.<strong> <\/strong>First, doing so lets you focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/improve-your-skills\/\">developing your skills<\/a> while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/grow-your-audience\/\">growing your audience<\/a>.<strong> <\/strong>Second, it\u2019s a powerful way to make valuable connections. Third, it can enable you to live the life you want to live.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t be content with mastery; you have to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-push-yourself\/\">push yourself<\/a> to become a student again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>As you share your work, you may find yourself becoming embarrassed of the work you\u2019ve done in the past, warns Kleon. This can feel discouraging and make you consider quitting altogether. He suggests you reframe these feelings. Rather than taking them as a sign of your mediocrity, take them as a sign that you\u2019re learning and growing. <strong>This should be encouraging because, as he sees it, you\u2019re never starting from scratch: You\u2019re always building on what came before<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Creativity experts note that <a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/519320\/you-can-learn-to-be-creative-if-youre-willing-to-embarrass-yourself\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cultivating a growth mindset is crucial for progressing as a creative individual<\/a>. You have to view failures and mistakes as an opportunity to learn and improve. Be willing to fail, be willing to embarrass yourself\u2014this willingness will help you stick it out for the long haul.)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>When you find things you genuinely enjoy, don\u2019t let anyone else make you feel bad about it. Don\u2019t feel guilty about the pleasure you take in the things you enjoy. Celebrate them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Making meaningful connections is what sharing your work is about, so it\u2019s important that you cultivate constructive interactions, contends Kleon. An excellent way to do this is to simply <strong>focus on the things you love\u2014the work, the ideas, the artists, and so on. <\/strong>You\u2019ll attract real people who love these same things and you\u2019ll create fewer opportunities for negative attention to come your way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Worthwhile connections are mutually encouraging\u2014focus on these, and ignore the others<\/strong>, says Kleon<strong>. <\/strong>Don\u2019t concentrate on the <em>number<\/em> of followers you have, and instead concentrate on the <em>quality<\/em> of those connections. If they\u2019re distracting, hurtful, or otherwise drain your energy, don\u2019t give them any time. Online trolls exemplify this kind of attention\u2014Kleon suggests you block them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cBecome a documentarian of what you do.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can start sharing, you must gather material, claims Kleon. A way to do this is to simply document your work. Use your smartphone or some other device to record what you\u2019re doing at any stage in the process. Not only will such photos and videos serve as material to post online, but they&#8217;ll also help you study your methods and develop your skills and techniques.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re in the early stages of making your piece or don\u2019t yet have any work to show, consider sharing the work of artists who\u2019ve inspired you<\/strong>. For instance, if a poem gave you the idea for the piece you\u2019re starting, share it, advises Kleon. You\u2019ll find that other people like that same poem. They\u2019ll then realize you have something in common, and they\u2019ll likely take an interest in <em>your<\/em> work when it\u2019s ready to share.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just note that if you share the work of others, you must be comprehensive in giving attribution. According to Kleon, the most important attribution online is the hyperlink\u2014be sure to include it so it\u2019s easy for people to find the source. If you don\u2019t know where a work came from, Kleon says, <em>don\u2019t share it<\/em>. Proper attribution is a great way to build real connections with like-minded people, and it\u2019s also just the right thing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re in the middle of your process<\/strong>, show people what you\u2019re doing and how you\u2019re doing it. Share your research for your novel, geek out about your red sable paint brush, ask others how they record acoustic guitar in stereo, and so on. Teach what you\u2019ve learned. These kinds of posts are engaging and sure to attract those who care about the same things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you\u2019ve just finished a piece<\/strong>\u2014show it, insists Kleon. Then show the outtakes and edits. This kind of transparency makes you more accessible to people and helps them get to know you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kleon writes that <strong>if you have many finished works<\/strong>, tell people about opportunities you may have coming up: a gallery showing or a book reading, for instance. Share your memories of how a certain work came to be, or ask for constructive feedback. Kleon claims there\u2019s always a way to help people engage with your work at any phase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for Show Your Work! quotes by Austin Kleon?
