Ira Glass on storytelling

“The most important possible thing you could do is do a lot of work, do a huge volume of work, put yourself on a deadline, so that every week or every month, you know you’re going to finish one story, you know what I mean, whatever it’s going to be. [...] It takes a while, it’s going to take you a while, it’s normal to take a while, and you just have to fight your way through that, OK? You will be fierce, you will be a warrior, and you will make things that aren’t as good as you know in your heart you want them to be. And you just make one after another.” (Via lifehacker)
