Today’s Writing Quote
“Great writing gets you meetings,
great concept gets you a sale,
great characters get you jobs.
All three get you a career.”
— F. Scott Frazier
Today’s Inspirational Video
This is pretty cool: NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover at Namib Dune. You can literally manipulate the view to see 360 degrees. It’s got me thinking about a movie idea: An astronaut who has landed on the planet gets stranded there and has to survive for several years before…
Wait, what? That’s already been done?
Never mind.

UPGRADE: I’m a big fan of anything to help motivate writers, no matter what. For example, calendars… and silver stars… and even gold stars! Just like Aviva Peltin does!
Look, writing is hard. Just getting motivated to deposit one’s ass in chair can take sisyphean effort. So if a calendar and star stickers get your motivational juices going, do it!
For that bit of inspiration, Aviva Peltin is the recipient of today’s Marion Award!
For your chance to win the Marion Award, one given away each day during the Challenge, post something inspiring, here on the blog, via Twitter, or the Facebook group.
Congratulations, Aviva!
