Ira Glass on Creativity, Taste and Hard Work

Absolutely love this quote I saw floating around Tumblr today. This could apply to so many things – even writing here. The more I do it, the more my writing gives voice to my taste, the better it becomes.

Love this. Took me 30+ years to learn that lesson. I wrote a post back in December about embracing the “my work still sucks” phase, shortly after being eliminated from a blog contest that forced me to fight through it every week.

Just checked it out, and I love your analogy about the dojo. So good.

Thanks. I don’t normally plug my own posts in comments, but I thought you might relate to a few things in that one.

This is a great quote. Frustrating, but true.

I just want to say, “Wow, I needed that”.
Thank you!
