Amazing Insight on the Creative Process

Writer, musician, poet, storyteller, photographer, preacher, whatever...  If you are artistic and want to create stuff that matters, listen to this from Ira Glass.  The winners are those who are willing to go to battle with themselves.  The losers give up.

I gave up when I was a paid songwriter in Nashville.  The failure rate was too high.  I couldn't take it.  In hindsight it was such a great thing.  I have other creative pursuits to chase and God-willing, I'm in it for the long haul.
