"Artists are not like athletes. We cannot win gold. We cannot beat other creatives. We cannot come first place. Sport is objective. Art is subjective. Creating to “be the best” is a waste of energy. Instead, create to connect to the people who need you. Create to delight yourself. Create in your way because there is no right way. Take the pressure off + focus on your unique form of magic."

I want to make music all the time and limit the amount of hours I do "real work" 🤓 I am so curious about what Amie McNee has to say in her new book "I don't want a job" that will be released on March 5th!! 🖤 Who else does not want a job? 😄

I am a huge fan of Amie McNee! With her book 'We Need Your Art' she inspired me to dare to do what I love the most, making music, and to take it seriously. And I can totally relate with the feeling of not wanting a "real" job 😅 So I'm super excited for her new book: 'I don't want a job' that will be released on March 5th 🖤

"writer and creative coach Amie McNee challenges the idea that art is frivolous or indulgent in difficult times. She argues that creativity is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Art calms us, connects us, and gives us purpose. It heals our bodies, minds, and communities. More than that, it’s an act of rebellion, a tool for hope, and a legacy that outlasts us all."
