Just had a strange experience. In my morning reading I read Ch8 of Keep Going (@AustinKleon) which includes a section on the litter-picking habit of writer David Sedaris. I then turned to Ch10 of Beyond Anxiety (Martha Beck) and it starts with 2 pages about the litter-picking habit of David Sedaris

I learned from @austinkleon the meaning behind the word “amateur,” from the Latin “amator”: lover. I am so here to be an amateur for my whole life, showing up as an enthusiast of all the crafts that call to me, a devotee of the practices that make me feel alive.

literally! why do people need things to look realistic so bad? so you can not pay attention to it?
![thread of 3 tweets from me, April 2023. text reads:
LOVE this from @austinkleon, on why we like it so much when older media keeps its original effects, and how that can be applied to other art: "the imperfections [...] they humanize the work for me and bring me closer to it." [link to quoted blog post]
it's why I want the blu-rays of Star Trek TOS, where you can choose between the original with the model shots and the remastered version: yeah, the effects maybe don't seem REAL, but they're wonderful to look at because you see it & go "a human being made that" in a way you don't always do with CGI. if it's well done, it's often ignorable, which can be a benefit at times, but when you're looking at something AS a product of its time, you want to see how it looked to people OF the time. CGI, for all that it gives us, can take away some of that magic.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wafy7ujthopdi3vpdqmebxro/bafkreicuuuqexf4pmhrytfetdbnlm2elrabdg3hk35lokjmv4fjz3a6q3m@jpeg)

Today’s prompt: Ask the person nearest to you what you should do with this page. I normally don’t sketch landscapes, and my perspective is way off, but it was a fun exercise ✨ #sketch #drawing #austinkleon #steallikeanartist

Time the annual #Reading of #StealLikeAnArtist by @austinkleon! This #Book really helped me start working on my own games and use my #Creativity more regularly. I am in need of going back to that “flow”, so revisiting these principles might help me. Time to write down some thoughts on my notebook.
