Brian Laird on WNYC.

And to close the show show we're turning now to a new book and we're

going to have another call in because the new book is called The Long Run by

Stacy Durasmo in it she seeks to answer a tough question. How do

artists manage to keep making art over a long period of time? What does it take

to have a decades-long career as a creative or just be productive for decades?

What's the secret ingredient?

It probably doesn't come as a surprise that there's no one secret ingredient according

to the book, but it does offer insight into many

different paths an artist life can take and what we can learn from those paths

if we are artists trying to keep creating.

So listeners, you can answer that question right off the bat.

If you're an artist who's had a long career

in any creative field, what has enabled you to continue making whatever your art is.
