Keep a public notebook of your ideas from "summary" of Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon

One way to stay connected to the world and to get your work noticed is to share your process. Start a blog, keep a website, or use social media to document your journey. Show your work to others, let them see what you're up to. Share your influences and give credit where it's due. Keep a public notebook of your ideas, whether it's a physical notebook, a blog, or a social media account. Make your thoughts and work visible to the world. By sharing your process and progress, you can attract like-minded individuals who appreciate your work. You never know who might stumble upon your work and be inspired by it. Sharing your ideas can lead to unexpected opportunities and collaborations. Don't be afraid to put your work out there, even if it's not perfect. Embrace the imperfections and be open to feedback. Keeping a public notebook of your ideas allows you to document your thoughts and experiences. It serves as a record of your journey and can help you track your progress over time. It's a way to hold yourself accountable and stay motivated. Your public notebook can also serve as a source of inspiration for others. By sharing your ideas, you can spark creativity in others and contribute to a larger conversation. Remember, the act of sharing your work is not just about self-promotion. It's about connecting with others and contributing to the creative community. By being open and transparent about your process, you can build a network of supporters and collaborators. Share your work generously and be receptive to others' ideas. The more you put yourself out there, the more you'll get back in return.
