A book about creativity for anyone who's ever looked at a blank sheet of paper and felt bad.
Like you, syndicated cartoonist Dana Maier wants a creativity shortcut—a magical fairy who will both come up with brilliant ideas and grant the energy and discipline to churn them out. This book is not that magical shortcut—you won't find stirring literary quotes or a foolproof system for sparking inspiration here—but it does provide commiseration, jokes, and comics about the often-painful act of creating something. Skip to the Fun Parts is a book for those of us who ever wanted a shortcut to being creative and realized, sadly, that there was none, but decided to give it a try anyway.

Dana Jeri Maier is an artist, cartoonist, and author whose work explores the agony and joy of our modern life. Whether it’s her viral cartoons for The New Yorker's "Shouts and Murmurs", her syndicated cartoon series “The Worried Well”, or her artwork and murals for brands like Politics and Prose, The Phillips Collection, and CHIKO, Dana knows what it means to create (and struggle to create) art. She lives in Washington, D.C.
