🎨 Impressions
I think this book had some interesting points about the creative process, however I did not enjoy the structure. It’s more like a collection of blog posts rather than a book, so I found it hard to get in a good flow and almost didn’t finish it. The message is very clear; You just have to trust yourself and the process of shipping work.
