Make Your Art No Matter What: Moving Beyond Creative Hurdles by Beth Pickens

This book was easy to read, relatable, and included good information that I think will help lots of artists with creative block, imposter syndrome, making time for art, etc. If you've never read a book like this before and are struggling in your artmaking, I recommend picking it up!
Unfortunately for me, I am already practicing all the relevant tips (e.g. seeing a mental health professional, dedicating regular time to my craft, giving myself weekends off, even using my mortality as a reality check), so rather than the boost in motivation I was hoping to get, the book simply reassured me that I'm already doing the right things and it's just a matter of patience and persistence now.
Rating the book on whether it would be helpful for others, I give it five stars. Rating its helpfulness to me, including the occasional typos in the Humble Bundle eBook edition, only three. Hence, my overall four-star rating.
