by Cary Tennis (Introduction by), Cary Tennis (Author)

Since You Asked (and even if you didn't), this book is here to help you navigate the weird, wonderful, and occasionally maddening world of the creative life. Got questions? We've got answers.

• "Should I move to the city for my art?" (Probably not, unless you enjoy ramen and subletting a closet.)
• "I'm working for a cokehead at a free arts magazine." (Exit stage left. Swiftly.)
• "I'm bursting with creative energy but don't know where to start." (Spoiler: it involves starting.)
• "I need more ideas-where do I find them?" (Hint: it's not about more ideas.)
• "Should I give up on my dreams of theater?" (No! Drama is your friend. Embrace it.)

Whether you're a tortured artist yourself or just have one as a roommate, this book will serve up real talk, tough love, and plenty of laughs.
Prepare to be entertained, enlightened, and maybe even convinced to stop doomscrolling and start creating.
