Keep Going: 10 Ways to Stay Creative in Good Times and Bad

This book spoke to me in ways I didn't know I needed to hear. Kleon talks about creating as a matter of self expression only for my own sake or as a gift for a particular person and leaving the pressure of publication and social media affirmation behind. This is a healing balm for my soul. There are a number of other ideas in this book that spoke to me, as well, but this was an important one for me.

I don't remember how I became aware of Kleon's book, but I borrowed it from the library based on a recommendation. I believe that I will be going out to buy this book so I can revisit it over the coming years. I highly recommend this book to others who enjoy being creative but don't enjoy the pressure that often comes with it.
