When Are You Going to Get a Proper Job?: Parenting and the Creative Muse by Richy K. Chandler
ljrinaldi's review against another edition
4.0
I almost passed this book by. The thought of another self-help book, telling how to raise your kids. Please, I am so over that, and besides, my kid is grown and out the door.
But then, I read the description, that this was a graphic novel take on it, and then I read the book itself, and fell in love with Tariq and is little fiery muse.
This story is so close to how it is for any freelancer, who wants to do some sort of art for their own pleasure. As someone who writes, it is hard to find the time to do the art form you enjoy while raising kids. The voices that discuss this, and the actions that happen to Tariq in the book, reflect all the different ways to solve this problem.
I like the solutions demonstrated, and enjoyed reading the story as well. Well done.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
