Being creative is a great thing.
Using that creativity to get noticed is even better.
You want to know how to achieve your goals as a creative, and this book is here to help you do just that! But lots of books will help you in that regard, so why choose this one?
Because it's not boring.
Author Bob McGough is an odd dude who has lived a weird life. Drawing from many years of quirky lived experience, he details how to use your creativity to get noticed, using actual examples from his life. Sure, you could read a book from an actual big name success. But why not try one from a creative who's in the trenches grinding away alongside you? Someone just a little farther along the path, who has taught others how to reach their goals?
Part autobiography, part instructional guidebook it will keep you interested as an otherwise usually boring topic gets discussed. He gets incredibly transparent with you, be it with exact sales numbers or how depression has influenced his career. There are guides to get you started, ideas to get you thinking, and actual examples to keep you interested!
And with this second edition, it's now over four times longer and contains over 50 curse words, several terrible puns, and more self-deprecating humor than is probably healthy!
About the author
Born and raised in South Alabama, Bob is an author, podcaster, tabletop game designer, and all around hot mess. His cause of death will most likely result from one of the hitchhikers with he picks up reckless abandon. A study in contrasts, he once skinny-dipped at a wedding and is also an Eagle Scout. He has two useless college degrees, has roadied for bands, and broke his wrist in a wall of death at a Divine Heresy show. He's written for video games, designed board games, and owns a disturbing number of roleplaying games. When he was eight he give a camel a coke in Israel and got flashed in Paris. When he grew up he watched a monkey steal a man's wallet in Costa Rica. He's made passible podcasts, filmed terrible short horror movies, and been the producer on a trio of albums you've never heard of. Thriving on the groans of those he has punned around he spends far too much time nervously laughing. He once dug up a dead cow in a creek thinking it was a human cadaver and had a cousin that's a water witch. In college he gave haunted ghost tours (even though he's pretty sure ghosts aren't real). He's been stalked, gave a Prophet a lift, and been stagger drunk in more states than he would care to admit.More relevant he wrote this book, some other books, and has been published by a number of other folks with questionable judgement. The fictional things he writes sometimes come weirdly true.He lives in the middle of Alabama with his amazing LadyWife, the Kiddo, and a number of portly cats.
