Persistence in Creating
I came across a video today of Ira Glass, the host and creator of NPR's "This American Life" discussing the art of storytelling, and think it is an outstanding primer on the effort it takes to produce excellent art. His bottom line--you have to produce large volumes of work--much of it not up to your own 'taste' standards--before the good stuff starts to manifest.
I LOVE this video! Gives all of us hope to keep on keeping on when things get tough. Plus, I've had a not-too-secret crush on Ira for years. Thanks for posting. Keep up the great work.
