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!
Check back later for the winner of today’s Anita Loos Award!
Onward!
UPDATE: How about this as a writer’s coffee cup?
Now THAT’S a beautiful inversion of the word ‘perfect’. Like I say, the only rule re a first draft: GET THE DAMN THING DONE!

Get that first draft done. It will be imperfect. But by reaching FADE OUT, it will be perfect!
