Book Review: Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon

 

I liked the book because a lot of the stuff in it I can relate to. And it wasn't too long.

This book is all about getting started on your ideas instead of just thinking about things. And I tend to think about things a lot. And then I don't actually do anything with all the things I thought about. And I kinda want to wait until I am good enough at drawing to get started on all my ideas. But this book helps me to see that I need to just get started on my goals and, in the process, I will get good enough. 

Since I read this, I bought a journal to write down my ideas wherever I am. (So I have to actually remember to take the journal with me everywhere. I'm working on that part.) 

I am going to keep a chart to make sure I draw every day. 

I wrote down my goals. 

And I made a list of things that inspire me. 

Mom asked if I want to go to any museums or anything. I said Comic Con. 

Here are the topics Steal Like an Artist covers. I think the be nice part is obvious, but clearly not everyone knows this rule. 

So, I recommend this book. And I am keeping it in my personal library and not with all the family books. If you know me, you know that means it is worthy.
