Random Inspirations

A few days ago I posted up some stuff on Reddit.com, basically just asking for criticisms and feedback. I got some feedback on my writing, but someone also left this little inspirational gem.

"Nobody tells this to people who are beginners. I wish someone had told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, its just not that good. Its trying to be good, it has potential, but its not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase; they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn't have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are in this phase, you gotta know that its normal and that the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you finish one piece. It's only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I've ever met. It's gonna take a while. Its normal to take a while. You just gotta fight your way though." Ira Glass
