👍Worth reading🎯Worthwhile😄LOLZ🐼FluffyMe encantó este libro, creo que es mi favorito de la autora. Los temas que aborda como la confianza en uno mismo, el crecimiento del artista y hasta el tema de los gatos, los presenta desde una perspectiva muy graciosa. También, me encanta que es muy fácil identificarse con las situaciones que muestra. Creo que aveces nos sentimos mal o solos al pensar que solo nosotros tenemos dificultades con ciertas situaciones o actitudes, como por ejemplo el sobre analizar los problemas, cuando realmente es un problema muy común. De esta manera, te hace sentir acompañado a la vez que te saca bastantes risas.
En pocas palabras, la autora te muestra situaciones, hábitos o actitudes que a muchos nos gustaría cambiar de nosotros mismos desde una perspectiva chistosa; y también, con el mismo tono gracioso te muestra alternativas para solucionar esos aspectos o sino te muestra que el problema que creemos inmenso aveces no lo es. Como por ejemplo, cuando creemos que le caemos mal a todo el mundo cuando realmente no es así.
Lo recomiendo al cien por ciento. - Marina Zalashared an impression5 years ago

👍Worth reading😄LOLZ🐼FluffyThis book has many funny comics that I really enjoyed. The author also wrote an illustrated essay about how the internet gives artists and writers the opportunity to share their creations, but it can be overwhelming or frightening because the internet is also a place for anonymous bullying, harassment, and criticism. Sarah encourages creative people to keep following their dreams despite their own insecurities and the opinion of random critics online.
What I liked: The comics about cats were my favorite. Many others were very relatable as well.
What I did not like: The illustrated essay was nice, but it was not what I was expecting because I thought the whole book was about her comics. Also, since I am not an artist and I hardly post anything online, the information was not for me.
Quotes
- ueremeevahas quoted4 years ago
Creativity is not only worth it but is necessary in these times. Artists and writers have the unique ability of looking at the world and reinterpreting it in their own way, and this perspective is one I would sorely miss if a young creative chose not to show their work. And for the sake of my own sanity, I much prefer spending my time looking at the works of new, growing artists than the fire party that the Internet has become. Sort of like . . . a little blossom of hope in an apocalyptic landscape - ueremeevahas quoted4 years agoHaving some degree of Internet presence has now become commonplace for most people. And it turns out, when you give people endless access to a shroud of anonymity and a soapbox, the results might just be disastrous. Whereas users congregated in small pockets before, social media has enabled the rise of mass movements that use trolling as a deflection tool for “doing the most damage I can do and then saying it was just a joke.” This culture no longer hides in anonymous corners but exists in the mainstream and is unavoidable
- Samuel de MontForthas quoted3 years ago
Making work is actually fun. It’s healthy and rewarding, and for many creative people, it’s central to who they are as a person
