Today’s Inspirational Video

Of course, this is an homage to the Zero Draft Thirty spirit guide Shia LaBeouf:

That little girl does an AMAZING job mimicking Shia!

Today’s Loos Award winner: Esther Agulian Carr.

Over at the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group, Esther recently posted this:

Since most of us are working and writing from home now, write about what your pets and kids are doing, but substitute the word “co-worker.”

I’ll start.

My co-worker just threw up on the carpet.

This led to a bunch of photos of writers’ co-workers. Here are select few:

Joni Trumpold Brainerd’s co-worker
Denise Meyers’ co-workers
Anita Brandt Burgoyne’s co-worker

And some comments:

Felicia: My co-worker is butt surfing on the rug.

Monica: My co-worker just murdered someone violently in her sleep.

Zeanne: my co-workers ask me to feed them every time I stand up to do something

Fay: My coworker is licking his — nether-regions.

Pamela: My co-workers curiously long tongue remains hanging askew from her tooth-challenged lips as she snores in fetal position on the floor as the fireplace casts flickering shadows across her hairy backside.

For that inspiration, the recipient of today’s Anita Loos Award is Esther Agulian Carr!
