Everything no one will tell you about being an artist

Nobody Knows What Theyre Doingis an honest guide to the creative life for artists of all kinds. Lee Crutchley, author ofHow to Be Happy (Or At Least Less Sad),skips the platitudes, positive affirmations, and guarantees of success; he’ll never ever tell you to just Do What You Love. Instead, Crutchley discusses the things nobody else is talking aboutthat, frankly, your work sucks (but thats ok because everyone else’s does too), that making bad art is worth it, and so much more.

In a world desperate for more authentic #content,Nobody Knows What Theyre Doingis a breath of fresh air that reveals the truths hiding between the lines of Instagram-friendly aphorisms and behind the words of the most inspirational TED talks. An honest look at the reality of creativity and the joy and difficulty of crafting good (and bad) art, this book belongs in the hands of every exhausted creative, every starry-eyed dreamer, and every artist who is trying to make their way in the worldand keep a roof over their head while they do it.
