Sheer Bloody Determined Repetition
I wanted to share a fantastic clip of Ira Glass (from the radio show, This American Life) talking about the early days of being a storyteller. It’s great inspiration for when you know you have a long way to go.
I also highly recommend the other clips from the series.
One more note, this time a quote from author Holly Lisle:
To keep working, to keep learning, and most of all, to keep writing—until goodness starts seeping into our pores through sheer bloody determined repetition.
From everything I’ve read, that’s pretty much what it takes.

In case you don’t follow the show, i highly recommend it. Weekly on Sundays i wait religiously for the podcast. The show is just great. They find some of the best storytellers and narrators.
Also I have the DVD to their 1st season on Showtime. If you want to borrow it, i’ll bring it to the next gaming day.

I had no idea Ira Glass had a series on Showtime. This is what happens when you don’t have cable. Or own a TV.
Yes, if it’s not a bother, I’d love to borrow the series.
