Today’s Writing Quote
“Reprogram your brain

You got pages done today.
You’ll do more tomorrow.”
— Eric Heisserer
Today’s Inspirational Video

UPDATE: Inspiration in the form of a poem by Charles Bukowski via Ellen Waitt:
Writing is an existential act. When we write, we embrace life and defy death. “The luck of the word. Go with it, send it.”
For this, today’s Marion Award recipient is Ellen Waitt!
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, Ellen!
