Re-Write-O-Rama: Day 24
Re-Write-O-Rama: Day 24.
January 1: Type FADE IN / The Beginning.
January 31: Type FADE OUT / The End.
31 days. 1 script. Movie script. TV script. Whatever.
Goal: Rewrite an existing draft.
I’m doing it with a Zero Draft I knocked out in November. You’re invited to join me on your own script.
NOTE: If you want to use the month to prep a story or write a zero draft, that’s fine. The point is for you (and me) to use Re-Write-O-Rama to kick off 2016 with a bang and make progress on a script!
To learn everything you need to know about the Re-Write-O-Rama: Winter 2016 Challenge, go here.
Hashtag: #RW31SCRIPT
You may download a calendar here or here to track your progress.
Join the conversation in Comments here, Twitter, and the Zero Draft Facebook Group (600 members) for a chance to win a daily prize: The Hecht Award!
Today’s Writing Quote
That second act, for me,
is the most fun,
because the first and third act
have such clearly defined functions.
— Tim McCanlies
Today’s Inspirational Video
In my estimation, there is no more influential musical presence in the last half of the 20th century than Bob Dylan. Here he is performing at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival singing “Mr. Tambourine Man”.
If you have a video to inspire or perhaps give us a laugh, same thing.
But here’s the biggie: Let’s support each other!
How many pages did you rewrite in the last 24 hours? How are you feeling about your story? Are you loving or hating your rewriting process? Did you have a good day or a bad day? Do you have any questions about your writing process? Ready to give a virtual hug… or maybe you need one.
Use Go Into The Story, Twitter, or Facebook to bolster your creative efforts. And remember: Every day I’ll be handing out the coveted Hecht Award to the best Comment, Tweet, or Facebook post.
Hopefully we’ll get a lot of great photoshops like we did with the Zero Draft Thirty Challenge.
Finally each day in January, I’ll be dishing out a special batch of Re-Write-O-Rama flavored creative juju for everyone who posts.
Nothing else to say. Just. Rewrite.
Onward!
UPDATE: Nothing more inspiring than when a writer achieves their goal. And so it is with R.m. Elliott as he posted at the Facebook group:
Somewhere between FADE IN, I found to, too and two where they didn’t belong, but they were there, their, they’re and they weren’t alone mine, mind you, but sometimes they were, we’re hard to find, fine and often it affected, effected the way in which, witch I was editing and re-writing but I still got to FADE OUT before I went completely crazy!!! Thanks for your, you’re encouragement OUTLAWS. Without U I’d just be a rough draft OTLAW!
Accompanied by this visual:
For that nifty blast of inspiration, R.m. is today’s recipient of the eternal Hecht Award!
Let’s keep our eyes on the prize: FADE OUT!
