Oh, I heart thee, Ira Glass.
The guys at gamesplusblog.com have been struggling with the very valid question of quantity vs. quality, and I think Mr. Glass hits the nail on the head again and again with his tips on finding stories, crafting stories, figuring out which stories have meaning and why, and—most importantly—quantity leads to quality because perseverance is key.
His advice spans all sorts of fields and adventures, so be sure to watch all four parts:
- what makes a story compelling
- the time and effort it takes to find great stories (and the ability to know when to kill a story)
- the gap between your good taste and your ability to make something worthy of your taste
- two common beginner errors (not being yourself and not being interested in other people/the world.)
