Today’s Writing Quote

“Reprogram your brain so THE END isn’t a giant finish line. You got pages done today. You’ll do more tomorrow.”

— Eric Heisserer

Today’s Inspirational Video

The soundtrack to The Shawshank Redemption is one of my go-to pieces of music for inspiration. And the composition “The Shawshank Redemption” which accompanies Andy’s escape from prison is one of my very favorites. In fact, I have a CD of the soundtrack autographed by its composer Thomas Newman.

UPDATE: This obviously deserves a Trumbo!

Irma was a hurricane that slammed into the southeast USA. Evidently David’s area got hammered — no power for 4 days as part of the aftermath. And yet David makes his way to the local Panera restaurant which has power and there he is pounding away on his story.

THAT is the kind of drive and dedication it takes to be a writer!

David, you’re a walking, sitting, and writing example for all of us. And for that the recipient of today’s Trumbo Award is David Proenza!

Onward!
