Very helpful and encouraging. Parts needed some proof reading. One chapter was a couple of pages that literally said "chapter2" (maybe not that particular number) over and over. Other than that I found it informative and unique as it shared insight of other artists and writers alike.
Loved the interviews of wealthy creatives sharing their nuggets on how to build and maintain successful businesses. I highly recommend this to any who feels stuck, lost, or afraid to go after their dreams.
It didn't really hold my attention. The last straw was the WHOLE CHAPTER that just read ‘INSERT CHAPTER TWO HERE’ on repeat for a few pages... Very off putting. Needs a serious edit.
It was surely a useful book, unfortunately too many big, well-known facts. Nothing really spectacular sticks in your head. Still it's a good warmup for a creative person.
