“I’d Rather Be in the Studio!” An Artist’s No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion

I was just on Cynthia Morris’ Original Impulse Blog this morning listening to her interview Alyson Stanfield, author of, “I’d Rather Be in the Studio! The Artist’s No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion.” I came away with some fresh insights that some writers might find hard to swallow. I know I did.

Ms. Stanfield said that as writers (and artists,) we need to get past the excuses. We must “want” to succeed as writers. To make a living as a writer you, must leave excuses behind. Otherwise, we will feel overwhelmed and won’t be able to complete our novels, plays, short stories or whatever projects we’re working on. It is the writing, not the money, that must motivate us.

A known artist coach, Ms. Stanfield shares encouraging insights that you can “do it,” and how to find the support you need to complete your project. You’ll also learn what to do when you get stuck in the creative process, as we all do at some time. Every writer, every artist needs to get a copy of this book.

Until next time …

No day without a line!

    Thank you for visiting Cynthia’s stop on my blog tour! I’m glad you found value in our interview. I certainly enjoyed Cynthia’s questions. And so many writers say this stuff works for them, too. I love to see cross-over among the various art forms.

    Nice review, and a sentiment that I’m sure most artists feel at one time or another.
