I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
How's it being used in the sentence? If it's something like "mission-driven goals", then it's hyphenated because it's an adjective.

Because books.
What Dana said. Most hyphenation is placement- and use-dependent.

Definitely hyphen. What kind of artists? misson-driven artists. It's two words used as one unit.

She's spent all but college in that community and been actively involved: youth groups, managing successful campaigns for two state senators, harangued one into signing on to a no-tolerance DUI law when she was in high school. She's working as a manager in a camera shop which loves her, but... she's wasted there and they pay shit. And she needs this.
