Today’s Writing Quote

“Forget every rule Syd Field, Robert McKee
or any other screenwriting guru ever taught you.
Except one:
Never be boring.”
 — David Mamet

Today’s Inspirational Video

A favorite scene from one of my favorite movies: Singin’ in the Rain. And the whole point of this sequence is about finding inspiration when things aren’t going your way. But the physical gyrations of Donald O’Connor… amazing!

UPDATE: This is a good one courtesy of Sabina Giado:

Even when doing a Zero Draft which minimizes pressure and maximizes productivity, we still have to deal with our fears. So yes, sometimes we just have to write through our fears. For this reminder, Sabina is the recipient of today’s Trumbo Award!

Write through the fear, my friends. Write through the fear.
