A large part of my blog is inspiration. I hope to inspire myself to be a better person, and a better writer. I also hope that in some small way, I inspire my readers. The video below features Ira Glass' thoughts on storytelling. As I watched, I had this feeling of....rightness. I've been honing my craft for a year and a half and I don't feel that I'm through the woods yet. I hope I'll get there soon, but I'm not rushing myself, and you shouldn't either!
If you're an aspiring author, or even aspiring to aspire, take two minutes out of your day and watch this video.

If you're struggling, feeling like what you're writing is crap, stick it out, push through it. You will get better.
