Ira Glass on Storytelling from David Shiyang Liu on Vimeo.
I found this on Google Plus the other day (credit to original sharer), and it spoke to me like nothing I’ve seen on the craft of writing.
I feel exactly this way: I’m not done “baking” as a writer; there’s so much more I can do and so much better I can be, and it gets discouraging to think I’m not busting past mediocre. But to hear Ira say “Keep going”; a mantra I’ve repeated again and again over this past somewhat difficult year, plucks my soul string. I get it on the inside, I really do; I know it, I feel it, I shout it: KEEP GOING.
What an amazing thing to remember. I have to bookmark this so I don’t forget about it.
Love it. Never stop writing!
I love this. I am bookmarking this to save when I am having a rough writing day. :-)
You know what?
We’re a lot alike.
I love Ira Glass, and also, don’t forget our mutual love of Cheap Trick.
Next time I’m in SD, we need to sit and just talk.

This is so very good, so tears to my eyes good, that I’m going to borrow it for my post tomorrow, with great shouts of gratitude out to you, dear lady.
Just keep swimming, baby. That’s right!
I love this!
I hate most of what I write, but every now and then something good comes from it. Keep pushing.
Very encouraging. I think Erin was right – this video goes very well with what I was feeling last week.
there is something so comforting in knowing that your struggles are “normal”
thanks for sharing.
