There’s more to writing than word counts and dollars. How does one handle rejection, self-doubt, anxiety, jealousy and the other internal wrestling matches and not turn creepy?

What are the mental health hazards of pursing a high-risk and fanciful career? Look at the fun, emotional side of being an artist, investigate self-care and success while celebrating the unique protagonist of yourself. Make your creative journey one of kindness, respect and sustainability. (WARNING: May contain mindfulness).  

You will learn

  • how to define boundaries and routine in your workplace
  • how to cope with obscurity
  • whatever mindfulness is
  • self-care for narcissists and other people
  • understanding fear (and Goodreads ratings)
