"If you want your work to make a difference,
you can’t keep it to yourself. You have to share it."
- Robbie Swale

This is one of the first quotes I highlighted from the Book How to Share What You've Made. I agreed to review the book partially because I wanted to answer several questions for myself:
• Is anyone else confronting the same obstacles I keep encountering?
• What could he say that would help me over those roadblocks?
Robbie Swale's provided answers to both.
First: That everyone has the same negative thought loops that keep them from starting, let alone sharing, their work.
Second: The rest of his book has answers to the objections that we all experiences.
Whether we think our work is:
• Not good enough
• Not original
• Not going change anything
And others.
Robbie provides the answers to each of these obstacles. His words are a breath of encouragement for someone who had focused on looking at their work from a critical voice perspective.
Instead of letting the critical voice dominate the conversation, he comes back with positive quotes and ideas to encourage people to take action and share. ( )

This was a quick read. While it wasn't anything mind-blowing, it was inspirational. I have some creative projects I've been sitting on for a long time, and this book is call to sit down and get started. It's quite relatable and may be the impetus someone needs to share their work.

The point of this book is to share the idea with the rest of the world. The book provides a memoir-account on leaving the house to contribute and using social media to share the reader's intended project, such as starting a business or posting a joke on Facebook. It is easier-said-than-done and the book doesn't give step-by-step guides, only to stop making excuses and act upon what the reader wants to do.


I received a free copy of this book.
Thank you to LibraryThing and author.

This is a short ebook that was provided as part of the early reviewers project. I enjoyed the brevity and the message of the book. I have authored two books and published them but have not marketed them. I have procrastinated on the third and am disheartened by the lack of readership but recognize it is my fault. ( )

This is not really a book but a long article or pamplet. It suggests many ways to overcome resistance to sharing your creativity. I think these ideas could be useful to someone although it is not an issue I wrestle with too much. ( )
