AE Inspiration | Ira Glass On The Creative Process

I love this! Thank you so much for sharing. It makes me want to get back in the game and keep pushing!

Sabrina ward Harrison is such an inspiration. I have all 3 of her books and the last one: The True and the Questions - the art journal where you make it yours.

I was so delighted that she's coming out with a new book, but honestly was a bit disappointed that it's another 'fill-in-the-blanks" journal format and not a art journal book on her current life, accomplishments and struggles. She is such a rich personality, I wish she shared more of her life. I'm still getting the new preorder book, but just wishing that it was another one of the "Spilling Open" calibur.
Thanks for the link Ali. I totally relate to being "in the phase" of self doubt and not living up to my aspirations. The answer truly is: "Make lots of work": terrible work, so-so work to get to the best work of one's life.

I've seen that before, but it is always a good reminder. Such powerful stuff. :D

Thanks for posting this. I've watched it four times already. May need it daily....

Thanks for sharing. How inspirational. And I what fantastic graphics too!

This is fantastic! So wish I'd seen/heard this years ago!

For so many years I'd been in the beginner stage of doing creative work - full of so many ideas & as he said "good taste", but full of so much more self doubt that I hadn't even started much. It's only been the last couple years that I got the inspiration from a crafty group of friends I met online, from discovering blogs like yours & Stacy Julian's & countless others, from discovering Paperclipping and from taking online classes.

Before all this social media, I looked at work in professional publications and it was intimidating. There was NO WAY I could live up to that quality so why try. Now so much is shared & you realize all those crafty people are just as human as you, they have bad days and bad designs and occasional doubts. The difference I've now come to realize is that the sucessful creative people just keep trying. They do LOTS of work. I have you Ali in part to thank for this realization. It's very empowering!

You are so inspirational...where you find these things to share with me (us) is so amazing and appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing. Truly inspiring and a timely reminder.

Love this. I so needed to hear this right now! Life is so crazy busy. I have so many ideas in my head of what I want to do, I just cannot get to doing it. I love the part, "put yourself on a deadline." I just made myself a schedule today and am hoping to stick with it.

It also reminds me of "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. Talking about doing a volume of work-I think he said in that book the "experts" do like 10,000 hours of practice? Maybe that's why the photo a day and other projects can be helpful. Anyways, thanks for the inspiration. I really love the 52 creative lifts too. Thanks Ali!

The video presentation is excellent. Two thumbs up! You are right Ali, it's worth sharing the content is very true and inspiring. Plus the graphics and overall presentation is great!
