Order Move Slow & Make Things, and enjoy a collection of thoughtful bonus content created just for you!

Move Slow & Make Things Book Bonuses Available!

I am so excited to share that the preorder bonuses for Move Slow & Make Things: Pursuing the Delightfully Fulfilling Creative Life are now available!  If you’ve already ordered the book, thank you!  You can enter your order information on THIS to claim your bonuses.

If you haven’t preordered the book yet, you can do that HERE.  I will be released September 1, 2026, so you still have plenty of time, but I learned through the release of Feels Like Home that preorders have become an important part of a book’s success in the current market. Preordering is one of the best ways you can support an author and champion their work.  It tells booksellers how much interest there is in a book, helping them determine how many to order for their physical and online stores.    It can also put books on bestseller lists once they are released.

So, if you’re intrigued by my new book or know someone who would like it as a gift, please consider pre-ordering.

As a little incentive, we have put together some perks for those who preorder the book.  The first bonus is a six-part podcast-style series on your creativity and why I believe it’s a gift worth nurturing.  My hope is that this series will whet your appetite for the book and offer some immediate inspiration and encouragement to pursue a delightfully fulfilling creative life.

The episodes are available to listen to on YouTube or download to your smartphone so you can listen to them in an audio player while you’re gardening, walking, cleaning, driving, etc.  I’ve also created printables that include journal prompts to get you thinking about your current relationship with your creativity.

As another fun bonus, we’ve made some of the book’s pictures available as digital wallpaper.  The photography features creative tools and materials from my studio, home, and garden that often beckon me to play.  I hope they will act as a visual reminder to pull out your tools and materials and make things.

how I use AI as an artist

A couple of years ago, I signed up for a trial to use an AI photo generator.  I was curious to see what kind of reference photos I could create with it.  I thought it might be a good tool for generating reference photos of subjects I don’t regularly have
