Writing a "help" book for Creative Artists Chris Grady, 28 January 2014 My thanks to those who added some suggestions to help me ensure that the book I am currently compiling has everything in it you, as a creative artist, might wish to find. “Coffee and Camomile Tea” is a book which has come out of my ongoing CGO Surgeries designed to stimulate and sooth creative artists on their life journey. I will check the first draft and make sure it has some/all/and more of this: * Thoughts on signs of compulsive under-earning. * Authentic voices of my age who have helped to solve, or have gone through, my problems. * A bit of the wisdom from the “Crap Art Manifesto”, the 80-20 rule, and “Great is the enemy of Good”. * How to motivate yourself as a singular creative * Practical daily tools to keep discipline and ward off demons * How to trust yourself and like after having putting the work in. * Pop-up Pages….NOT SURE ABOUT THIS ONE…MAY NEED THE READER TO IMAGINE OR MAKE THEMSELVES. * Answer “What right or entitlement do I have to do this”? * How to expect to make a living * Nice Pictures…OK BUT I AM ALSO LEAVING PLENTY OF WHITE SPACE SO YOU CAN DRAW YOUR OWN. * Justification Thank you so much. I will welcome many more comments and reminders of things that you want to find in the index and in the book. Email me: [email protected] and add comments here also. Looking forward to carving some time/space to work on the 2nd draft and use your really helpful additions.
