Real Artists Have Day Jobs: (and Other Awesome Things They Don't Teach You in School) by Sara Benincasa

5.0

The author provides really helpful advice in her essays. I think one that stood out to me was how she deconstructs the idea of overcoming your hardships and there's a happily ever after. She gives an example of how she still deals with her mental illness, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have good days.
She is positive in the book without sugar-coating anything and also acknowleging her provledge which I really respected.
