Don't think of your website as a self-promotion machine, think of it as a self-invention machine. - Austin Kleon

Don't worry about a grand scheme or unified vision for your work. [...] What unifies your work is the fact that you made it. One day, you'll look back and it will all make sense.

If we’re free from the burden of trying to be completely original, we can stop trying to make something out of nothing, and we can embrace influence instead of running away from it.

Your attention is one of the most valuable things you possess, which is why everyone wants to steal it from you.
