"Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it's just not that good. It's trying to be good, it has potential, but it's not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit." ~Ira Glass

I love this quote! Its so important to remind ourselves that our full potential is just around the corner, so we should always keep trying, creating and growing.

ReplyDeleteThis is how I feel about every headline I write. Almost there, but not quite.
