\u2014 <\/p>\n

When you open up your process and invite people in is when you learn.<\/p>\n

I never really <\/p>\n

appreciated this as much as I do now in my job. I have creative freedom to design in my job but <\/p>\n

letting others in has forced me to learn and evaluate more than I have ever imagined.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Becoming known after you are doing good work was inspiring to me. <\/p>\n

When you aren\u2019t <\/p>\n

known, you can take the time to find yourself and what you enjoy, all the while practicing your <\/p>\n

craft and improving it.<\/p>\n

\u2014 It was also interesting to see how the internet could be an \u2018incubator\u2019 for ideas. <\/p>\n

I have a friend from high school who kept up a blog about Star Wars for a long time. Around <\/p>\n

Junior\/Senior year, he didn\u2019t post on it as much and kind of left it alone for awhile. Freshman <\/p>\n

year of college, he went back to look at it and there were hundreds of entries from people. <\/p>\n

Before, he only had a few people who followed it but when he checked it later,<\/p>\n

his ideas had <\/p>\n

sparked others to post and repost their own ideas.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen the \u2018incubator\u2019 idea in action and it <\/p>\n

was really cool to see his point of view on it. <\/p>\n

\u2014 Kleon is telling us to take time to get bored. I have never thought about this before. We are <\/p>\n

taught in society to always be doing something, because that it the most productive. What if <\/p>\n

not doing anything could be productive? <\/p>\n

Who we are when we aren\u2019t doing anything, relaxing, <\/p>\n

might be who we truly are and what we actually enjoy doing. <\/p>\n

\u2014<\/p>\n

It reminded me of something that happened just recently. After I had finished my scene <\/p>\n

writing for this class, I happened to be slightly proud of it because I thought I had done a slightly <\/p>\n

okay job. I ended up sending the link to my friends for them to look at. One of my friends read it <\/p>\n

and then gave me comments on what it reminded him of and how he connected certain personal <\/p>\n

<\/canvas><\/p>\n

ideas to it. Him doing this warmed my heart and I told him so which, in return, he told me my <\/p>\n

writing warmed his heart. <\/p>\n

\u2014 Read the title, <\/p>\n

[Do Good Word and Share it with People],<\/p>\n

first reaction, YES! That\u2019s how I <\/p>\n

did it, that\u2019s how I got started! No one believes you can make cool things in your inner circle, <\/p>\n

they all say things like \u201cthat\u2019s nice, but can you really make a living with that.\u201d I found an <\/p>\n

online writing forum, posted daily chapters, got better with each comment and reaction, and then <\/p>\n

finally proved my \u2018skill\u2019 as an author to everyone. I hate fake encouragement more than <\/p>\n

anything- unrelated. Don\u2019t go to friends and family for opinions, go to complete strangers and <\/p>\n

they will tell you whether your work is worth a … word.<\/p>\n

\u2014 I really took interest in the idea that your professors and classmates are in a position that <\/p>\n

have to listen to your work and you should take advantage of it. In the beginning of college, I <\/p>\n

was so afraid to send my professors my work because they were at such a higher level than me <\/p>\n

and I didn\u2019t want to embarrass myself. <\/p>\n

I have since learned my ideas are valid and I want to <\/p>\n

engage in conversations with intelligent people about them so I take advantage.<\/p>\n

[Kleon re: procrastination and sharing your work]<\/p>\n

\u2014 Kleon talked about sending your friends things and finding people on social media that <\/p>\n

connect with you. The way I procrastinate recently has been talking to people about things in <\/p>\n

Discord (a messaging service) that we all have similar interests in. It made me realize that doing <\/p>\n

these things can actually be beneficial in some way<\/p>\n

and that I\u2019m not wasting my time over silly <\/p>\n

stuff. <\/p>\n

[Kleon re: procrastination]<\/p>\n

\u2014 <\/p>\n

As long as I\u2019m building up ideas by the things that I see and talk about I could then draw fuel <\/p>\n

from when I\u2019m actually creating something. <\/p>\n

\u2014 it is okay to have two or three passions and the idea of phantom limb pain. Personally, this <\/p>\n

hit home for me more than I can even tell you or try to describe. As I was younger I was <\/p>\n

interested in drama, English, sports, student government, politics, and etc. I felt like that to be <\/p>\n

successful I needed to focus on one interest and pursue it. Around my first year in college I <\/p>\n

<\/canvas><\/p>\n

started lunging into politics and literature as I felt a way to express my concerns and <\/p>\n

frustrations was through writing. I began to feel that phantom limb pain and through this <\/p>\n

I have <\/p>\n

begun to understand all of the things I love and explore are what make me the artist I am and <\/p>\n

choosing only limits me.<\/p>\n

………………………………<\/p>\n

Question: The big question I have is that all of these concepts are so simple and yet we as <\/p>\n

young artists have a hard time embracing them, why is that? Why are we uncomfortable with <\/p>\n

calling ourselves capable?<\/p>\n

Question: I\u2019m curious to see what everyone else thinks about the section about obscurity. Do <\/p>\n

you agree with what Kleon has to say about how we have nothing to worry about when we are <\/p>\n

still obscure? Do you think we should relish in obscurity while we have it?<\/p>\n

Question: If we share our secrets, does the personal value of them decrease? <\/p>\n

Question: Are you guys really comfortable with the idea of giving secrets away?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
