Matthew Panzarino on the creative people he met at this week’s Macworld Expo:

Late nights, early mornings, financial hardship, kids, marriage, divorce, success, little failures, massive failures. Through it all they kept doing. Producing, making, asking questions and learning through failures and successes.

This was a trend I noticed as well while talking with people this week. It even came up last night in a conversation I had with Ben Brooks about how quickly he has built his site’s readership. Aside from his quality writing and, perhaps, a bit of controversy, one key element keeps his traffic and readership growing: he shows up every day.
