      I loved this video. Very generous of Ira Glass to share his own past work as an example of the learning curve involved in really mastering a craft.

      I think this is excellent advice for writers. I also think that schools sometimes emphasize rewriting and polishing too early on, while what aspiring writers often need more in the beginning is to produce a lot of work and experiment with new approaches and techniques in order to grow.

      Thanks for the nice stories you’ve published here. But it’s a long time that you didn’t send any story here. Some thing wrong?
