Hohoho Writing A Arts And Crafts Book: The Fascinating Rewards That Come Upwards From Sharing What Yous Know
In my final post I wrote nigh why I think it's thus of import to percentage your ideas.
I explained how for me, it's all nigh teaching other people together with inspiring others to create.
When you lot overstep on what you lot know, whether it's a science or trade,
or simply something you know a lot about, non alone are you lot helping
others yesteryear teaching them, but you lot are giving them the might to larn together with practise something new.
After all, good ideas are meant to hold upwardly shared, together with I shout upwardly people should inspire other people.
But I too discovered - unexpectedly - a fascinating vantage throughout the whole procedure of
writing my arts and crafts book. What was this reward? I establish that equally you lot give away what you lot know,
out of nowhere, completely novel ideas come upwardly to you, together with you lot honour build novel things.
The reward was, inwards giving, you lot opened upwardly yourself up, together with you lot opened upwardly up your mind, to novel and
different ideas. It's almost similar a blossoming.
As I created the projects for my book, BoHo Chic Jewelry, non alone was I designing and
making the projects amongst my hands, I was too writing out all of the step-by-step
instructions, together with at the same fourth dimension writing downwards picayune notes hither together with at that topographic point nigh what my
inspirations were for each project, snapping photos of each footstep thus that the photographer
would get got a reference betoken for what photos were of import to get got during the actual
photo shoot, etc. That was the work. So I began amongst projection issue 1 together with worked my
way through; thinking, making, writing, together with taking photos. Sometimes re-thinking,
re-making, and re-writing, together with re-taking photos! But I was working my means through.

And then, spell I worked, a wonderful affair started to happen. New ideas came.
First equally a trickle. Then equally a flood.
And permit me clarify: these novel ideas had cypher to practise amongst the wonderful projects I had
already designed together with created for BoHo Chic Jewelry. These were new, unassociated,
completely different ideas. And they wouldn't terminate coming. So every thus oft when I would
take a break from working, I would jot the novel ideas down, together with laid them aside.
As I gave away, I received.
I'm non certain how or why this happened. Where did these novel ideas come upwardly from? And why
did they popular off on popping into my caput when I was working on something else? I honestly
can't response that. The closest thing I get got to whatever sort of explanation is that perchance that is
just the nature of giving. Maybe it is universal flow. I can't explicate it, but I tin move say, with
all honesty, that this is what I was meant to do.

...fast forwards 1 twelvemonth afterward together with those novel ideas get got been collected together with organized,
polished off together with perfected, written downwards together with submitted to my publisher, pose into a
new mass together with offered to you, the reader, the jewelry maker, the artist. My mo book,
Soldered Alchemy: 24 Jewelry Projects Using New Soft-Solder Techniques,
is fresh inwards from the printer together with on its means to a bookstore nigh you! And that was
the gift that I received from giving my ideas away to write my starting fourth dimension book, BoHo Chic Jewelry.

moral of this weblog post? If you lot honour or create something novel together with interesting, a new
technique or method, a novel mode or consider - percentage it. Don't popular off on it in. Once you lot give it
away, thus much to a greater extent than volition come upwardly to you.
