Today’s Inspirational Video
It’s a Zero Draft Thirty tradition, beginning and ending each Challenge with a few words of wisdom from our Spirit Guide — actor turned screenwriter — Shia Labeouf. Here is a rough transcription of his message:
“JUST DO IT!!!”
Each day this month, I’ll post a Zero Draft Thirty Challenge post here at Go Into The Story. And as I’ve done with every past Challenge, I will hand out an award for a notable Tweet, Facebook post, or comment here on the blog. This cycle, the winner will receive the Frances Marion Award!
Today’s Frances Marion Award winner: Jonathan Champ who likely is the 2020 Zero Draft Thirty September Challenge Participant Number 1 getting an early crack at it in The Land Down Under!
For breaking the ice on this month’s Challenge, Jonathan is the recipient of the Frances Marion Award!
