Today’s Writing Quote
“It’s really important to start off well. If you grab people early in a script, they’re going to keep reading.”
— Carter Blanchard
Today’s Inspirational Video
Ah, David Bowie. “If we could be heroes, just for one day.” Take that to heart, my friends. Be a hero today. Write with gusto. Write with freedom. Write from your soul. Write like a hero! And in so doing honor the late great Bowie.

GO WRITE!
UPDATE: For all of you #ZD30SCRIPT Challenge participants writing while working a full-time job, here’s something for you:
Yeah, some tough love. If you want to be a writer, you really have to WANT it! Plus this: When you’re not writing, someone else is.
So there you go, a heaping helping of negative reinforcement. But sometimes we need that to kick our posteriors into gear.
With that, I’m happy to announce that today’s Trumbo Award winner is Jeremy Noel!

Onward!
