"Like you, cartoonist Dana Jeri Maier wants a creativity shortcut-- a magical fairy who will grant both brilliant ideas and discipline to churn them out. This book is not that magical shortcut-- you won't find stirring literary quotes or a foolproof system for spaking inspiration here-- but it does provide amusing insights about the often-painful act of making something original. Drawing on her experience as a cartoonist for The New Yorker and other publications, Maier explores topics like procrastination, the benefits of having an artistic nemesis, and the power of channeling your inner six-year-old. While more traditional creativity guides often make readers feel judged, Skip to the Fun Parts instead celebrates daily challenges and small victories. Wherever you are in your creative journey, Maier is a funny and reassuring friend to keep you company along the way."--Publisher.
