Today’s Writing Quote
“My best writing has been on the scripts I wrote as suicide notes to the industry — sort of, ‘Fuck you, guys, I’m outta here.”
— Marc Norman
Today’s Inspirational Video
One of the most memorable moments in baseball’s World Series history. Game 7, Pittsburgh Pirates vs. the mighty New York Yankees, tied 9–9 in the bottom of the 9th inning, Bill Mazeroski steps up to the plate. I saw this as 7 year old boy and can still remember it to this day.

Mind you, this is not a zero draft, but finishing this script was my goal for Sept. Moving on . . .
As noted at the beginning of this challenge, writers can use the ZD30 Challenge to do anything: start a new draft, rewrite an old one, outline a story, come up with a story idea each day for the month. As long as you use the Challenge to make progress in your writing and creative process…
GREAT!
So today’s recipient of the Trumbo Award is Pj Woodside!
Onward!
