Overview

For years, author/ex-New York editor/filmmaker/tropical artist sanctuary founder Cristina Salat had been planning to write a definitive tome about living (some might say surviving) the creative life. The expansive memoir was to be entitled Creative Living: From Starving Artist To Self-Employed Bliss, and it was envisioned as part in-the-trenches memoir and part ins-&-outs of how the business sides of media industries like the worlds of New York book & magazine publishing plus Hollywood movie-making could be navigated, as she'd been experiencing them. The problem with undertaking such a project was, in some years our heroine was just too busy starving...and then in other years when she was successful, she was just too busy, period. (And not always all that blissful either!) So decades went by...until all of a sudden one day, from beneath waving palm trees on an island where she now lives, the hero of this personal narrative took a soulful look back at the life & work she'd managed to create over the years in spite of everything, and -- even with all the unexpected twists & turns the journey took (and was still taking!) -- she found Life to be very, very good. Is it possible to not only survive but thrive as a writer/artist/creative person/entrepreneur in today's chaotic world? This author definitively says: Yes! (Though it does take a fair amount of grit & gumption along the way!) This is the 2nd edition. Print = black/white illustrated, e-version = color.
