On creativity and inspiration (2 books by Austin Kleon)

Creativity often feels elusive—especially when the pressure is on or inspiration runs dry. What does it mean to stay creative in the face of uncertainty, distraction, or self-doubt? And how can we build habits that support creative thinking, not just in art but in everyday life and work?

Let’s explore the practical wisdom of Austin Kleon’s *Steal Like An Artist* and *Keep Going*, two refreshingly honest guides to unlocking creativity through action, curiosity, and resilience.

Together, we’ll reflect on what fuels our creative energy, share personal practices, and discover ways to keep making—even when it’s hard.
