A little imprisonment — if it’s of your own making — can set you free. - Austin Kleon

Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your
imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings,
photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture,
bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and
shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your
shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your
soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic.

Before you go to bed, make a list of anything you did accomplish, and write down a list of what you want to get done tomorrow.

The great thing about remote or dead masters is that they can't refuse you as an apprentice. You can learn whatever you want from them. They left their lesson plans in their work.
