Ira Glass said this at some point and since I’m writing about writing a lot lately, it’s too relevant not to be shared.
Random fact: Did you know that I met and worked with Ira Glass during year two of Wordstock? Yep, I’m just that good.
In other bits of trivia – Scott Berkun wrote a response to my blog post from last week, 500 Words or Less, which was actually inspired by him. (Is your head spinning yet?) And in this post, he explains the difference between an essay and a blog…sort of.
You should read it.
New development: Did you know that lamiki.com is on Facebook? You should like me over there, because we all know that you can’t get enough lamiki in your life.
Oh, and I have big news to share tomorrow. Really, really BIG news.
But you’ll have to wait. ☺
For now, rock the rest of your Thursday.

Ira Glass mentions it somewhere in this interview on Storytelling:

Serendipitously, he mentions how what we’re taught in school about writing is wrong, just as we both did about essays recently.
That’s too funny. Thanks for finding it, Scott.

I found the video clip of that Ira Glass piece a little more than a year ago and wrote about it on my blog too. I think a lot of people are encouraged by his advice.
