Ira Glass on Working Through the Suck
Merlin Mann | Jul 7 2008
YouTube - Ira Glass on Storytelling #3 Video featuring terrific advice from This American Life’s Ira Glass on having the tenacity to get better at the creative work you’re passionate about — even through the times when you know what you’re making isn't as good as you'd like. I admire Ira's courageousness in using himself as an example of how to do it wrong. (Also, now that I’m aware of that tic where radio people punch every third word, I’m hearing it all the time.)

...I just stumbled on this interesting idea for a conference on failures. Being not really a software guy but a story guy, I also think the concept would make for a great documentary/"inspirational" book. I also liked this clip enough to seek out the whole video. It's yonder, and has some great advice about creating a narrative that works. Which is always useful. » POSTED IN:
