Step 1: Wonder at something. Step 2: Invite others to wonder with you. You should wonder at the things nobody else is wondering about. If everybody’s wondering about apples, go wonder about oranges. The more open you are about sharing your passions, the closer people will feel to your work. Artists aren’t magicians. There’s no penalty for revealing your secrets.
She gives her secrets away. People love it when you give your secrets away, and sometimes, if you’re smart about it, they’ll reward you by buying the things you’re selling.
When you open up your process and invite people in, you learn.
Most websites and blogs are set up to show posts in reverse-chronological order—the latest post is the first post that visitors see, so you’re only as good as your last post. This keeps you on your toes, keeps you thinking about what you can post next.
Having a container can inspire us to fill it. Whenever I’ve become lost over the years, I just look at my website and ask myself, “What can I fill this with?"

For me there was no audience,
no brass music either,
only wet dust, the cheers
buzzing at me like flies,
like flies roaring.
I stood dizzied
with sun and anger,
neck muscle cut,
blood falling from the gouged shoulder.
Who brought me here
to fight against walls and blankets
and the gods with sinews of red and silver
who flutter and evade?
I turn, and my horns
gore blackness.
A mistake, to have shut myself
in this cask skin,
four legs thrust out like posts.
I should have remained grass.
The flies rise and settle.
I exit, dragged, a bale
of lump flesh.
The gods are awarded
the useless parts of my body.
For them this finish,

"White sky. Trees fading at the skyline, the mountains gone. My hands dangled from the cuffs of my jacket as if they weren't my own. I never got used to the way the horizon there could just erase itself and leave you marooned, adrift, in an incomplete dreamscape that was like a sketch for the world you knew - the outline of a single tree standing in for a grove, lamp-posts and chimneys floating up out of context before the surrounding canvas was filled in - an amnesia-land, a kind of skewed Heaven where the old landmarks were recognizable but spaced too far apart, and disarranged, and made terrible by the emptiness around them."
We dredged him up, for killed, until he whined
"O sir, my eyes - I'm blind - I'm blind, I'm blind!"
Coaxing, I held a flame against his lids
And said if he could see the least blurred light
He was not blind; in time he'd get all right.
"I can't" he sobbed. Eyeballs, huge-bulged like squids
Watch my dreams still; but I forgot him there
In posting next for duty, and sending a scout
To beg a stretcher somewhere, and floundering about
To others posts under the shrieking air.
You don’t have to be rich, you
don’t have to be famous, and you don’t have to have a fancy
résumé or a degree from an expensive school. Online,
everyone—the artist and the curator, the master and the
apprentice, the expert and the amateur—has the ability to
contribute something.
“The fellow-pupil can help more than
the master because he knows less. The difficulty we want
him to explain is one he has recently met. The expert met it
so long ago he has forgotten.”
“Flow is the
feed. It’s the posts and the tweets. It’s the stream of daily
and sub-daily updates that remind people you exist. Stock
is the durable stuff. It’s the content you produce that’s as
interesting in two months (or two years) as it is today. It’s
what people discover via search. It’s what spreads slowly
but surely, building fans over time.”
“When shown an object, or given a
food, or shown a face, people’s assessment of it—how much
they like it, how valuable it is—is deeply affected by what
you tell them about it.”Paul bloom
Bios are not the place to practice your creativity. We
all like to think we’re more complex than a two-sentence
explanation, but a two-sentence explanation is usually what
the world wants from us. Keep it short and sweet.
