Eliot said something far closer, “Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.” I learned all of this from Austin Kleon, bestselling author of Steal Like an Artist, a guide I recommend to all writers seeking insights for tapping into your endless reserves of creativity and innovation. As a noted speaker, and prolific blogger, Mr. Kleon offers timeless wisdom on the secrets of borrowing inspiration from your heroes to remix it into your own work in order to create something fresh and original.

What is your area of expertise as a writer or online publisher? The Venn diagram of my career is pictures, words, and the web. Where can we find your writing? Your local bookstore, or www.austinkleon.com. The writer’s productivity … How much time, per day, do you spend reading or doing research? 1-3 hours. Before you begin to write, do you have any pre-game rituals or practices? Sadly, no. I’m sure if I did, I’d write more. What’s your best advice for overcoming procrastination? Practice productive procrastination — have 2 or 3 projects going at one time, so if you get sick of one, you can jump over to the other.
