Always start with the worst thing
Put your best foot second
And hope you’re talking to optimists

In a world where we used to
Eat, sleep, dream; The Book
the Mac Book has taken over
And everything is easier –
And yet harder

But
Don’t be afraid
To ask for critique
It will help you
Ask often, and humbly

Take notes

Also know
That nothing is personal
except The Book.
That must be
A slice of you.
True.
True –
the truest representation of you

And as such,
Make work that you like.
No,
LOVE.
Make work that you can defend in face of critics
Because after all, what do they know
About you?

Make your book your own
Because, at the end of the day, who else are you
If not
Your Book
