Creative process etc - a couple of books and a talk with one of the authors

At the moment I am reading two different books, each of them exploring the creative process from a different angle. 

There is "Making Your Creative Mark: Nine Keys to Achieving Your Artistic Goals", by Eric Maisel. 
So far I think it's an important book, it gives a combination between mindfulness and creativity. Lots of good advice, and some not as good.

There is "Show Your Work!: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered", by Austin Kleon.
So far I think it is, as well, an important book. It's going through the issue of internet, and particularly social media. An issue that is being discussed endlessly in blogs and books (of which I’ve read many).
He is doing it differently, in his own way, coming at the subject from new angles.
It's a brand new book, by the way, and on Thursday there is a discussion with the Author on Goodreads. I'm in.

Anyway, I'll read and review them both fully and in detail, and will share it here when I'm done.
