Steal Like a Writer - Austin Kleon

Austin gave this talk at Weapons of Mass Creation Fest 2012 in Cleveland, OH.

"No matter what your discipline, it's hard to get any good work done without clear, straightforward communication. Simply put, being a good writer makes you better at your job. Using a few school supplies, a little visual thinking, and a whole lot of creative theft, this talk will help get you started on the way towards becoming a wordsmith."
