Today’s Writing Quote

“Sometimes you’re swinging your way through a first draft like a blind miner with a pick-axe. That’s OK. Just get it done.”

— Justin Marks

UPDATE: This is great from Tracy Shefras:

This reminded this morning to get really close to my characters, so that they can whisper their deepest darkest secrets into my ear….even when they are not saying anything. I want my story to reek of compassion….

Indeed. Get. Really. Close. To. Your. Characters.

It’s THEIR story. Who knows it better than they do?

For that reminder, today’s recipient of the Trumbo Award is Tracy Shefras!

Onward!
