I wrote this book because I needed to read it. It’s my best one yet. You can get a copy here or anywhere books are sold.
If you’ve already read it and enjoyed it, please leave it a kind review on Amazon or Goodreads. Those help a ton.
To promote Keep Going, I spent the past two weeks recording podcasts all afternoon, so here’s a little roundup of the first ones to post.
1. I was totally flattered to be the first male guest invited on the Crafty Ass Female podcast. We talked about a bunch of stuff, but my favorite part of the conversation was when we talked about how feminism is the way out of the nightmare of being a man. (A strong belief of mine!)
2. Had a great time talking to the fellas on the He Shoots, He Draws podcast.
3. Enjoyed chatting again with The Kindle Chronicles. Len excerpted this bit:
“When I first started out, if you had told me that my books were going to be shelved in Self Help, I would never have believed you. And when I first got started I had no idea there was such a thing as an illustrated gift book. I just didn’t know that those genres existed in publishing. The really fun thing for me about doing this kind of book is that it allows me to be as weird as I want to be in a mainstream format. That is the great gift that these books have given to me.”
This is going to be one candid book tour, lemme tell you!
I love these two dinosaur skeletons the six-year-old drew at the museum yesterday…
Here’s Ingmar Bergman on stealing like an artist:
“I’m not one of those who believe that an artist grows up out of nothing and starts to bloom with no nourishment at all. I believe we’re all part of a great hodgepodge, so we take from each other, and I’ve always been completely uninhibited in that regard. If I see something good, I steal it and make it my own.”
Bergman gets quoted in chapter 9 of Keep Going: “The demons hate fresh air.”
My biggest tour ever. Two months. 25 cities. See all the dates here.
Couple of things:
1) I’m pumped about how eclectic the mix of venues is: Indie bookstores. Public libraries. A brewery. A movie theater. Even a Methodist Church! So fun. I also have an amazing batch of people interviewing me on different stops, including Heather Havrilesky, Chase Jarvis, and Debbie Millman.
2) It might look random, but my publicist at Workman (shoutout to Diana!!!) worked tirelessly on this lineup. Planning a tour like this is months and months of work. (A lot of it not even visible to me.)
3) The 25-cities-in-North-America constraint is due to budget and my physical and mental health. If your city was left out of, it’s nothing personal!
And yes, I would love to come to your city, but I’m one person with a young family. They need me, and I need them. I’m already an absentee dad for two months. Gimme a break.
If you really, really want me to come to your city, scrounge up a budget from your employer or school and check out my speaking page.
Hope to see y’all soon!
