Getting Creative Work Done

From youtube, a video of Ira Glass, from This American Life, on getting creative work done. Very inspiring for anyone doing any kind of work that's remotely creative.

Key message: If you want to create a thing, you already love it and you have good taste and high expectations. When you are starting out, there is a gap, possibly abig gap, between what you can produce and what your standards are. Can't let yourself be discouraged by that. Must be willing to admit to yourself that the gap is there. Face the music. Best way to close the gap is to produce a large volume of completed work. On a schedule. Put yourself on a schedule. Or better yet commit yourself to a schedule for others to recieve your work, even if it's not paid work.
