Contents
Everyone is creative -- Excuses are the enemy -- Labels are for canned peaches, not people -- Blank paper can be blinding -- A green eye is a green light -- Your inner critic is a big jerk -- No one can wrestle the pencil out of your hand -- Failure leads to genius -- Creating in a vacuum sucks -- Blocks are meant to be broken -- Welcome to the club.
Summary
Silencing the stifling voice of every artist's inner critic once and for all, Danielle Krysa shares ten truths that creatives must face in order to defeat self-doubt. Each encouraging chapter deconstructs a pivotal moment on the path to success -- fear of the blank page, the dangers of jealousy, sharing work with others -- and explains how to navigate roadblock. Packed with helpful anecdotes, thoughts from successful creatives, and practical exercises gleaned from Krysa's years of working with professional and aspiring artists, this book arms readers with the most essential tool for their toolbox: the confidence they need to get down to business and make good work.
