Creative Living: From Starving Artist To Self-Employed Bliss (b/w): A Memoir

By Cristina Salat

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. 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 NYC book & magazine publishing along with Hollywood movie-making could be navigated, as she'd been experiencing them. The problem with undertaking a project of such scope was, in some years our heroine was just too busy with the starving-artist part of the equation. And then, in other years when she was somewhat 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 fronds on an island where she now lived, the author of this personal narrative took a soulfully long look back at all the unique experiences & heartfelt work she'd managed to create over many years and -- despite Life's unexpected twists & turns -- she found it to be very very good. As in: she'd arrived at the blissful-self-employment part of this story, at last.
