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.

Onward!
UPDATE: Sometimes we, as writers, only need words to make the point. Here are some really good words from Christine Orlando-Hinton:
Finished my rewrite and doing a happy dance! — My best advice to anyone writing, is simply keep writing. Even when I get stuck on a scene, I usually pick a direction and write SOMETHING. I may never use it. It might be horrible, but if I can get the characters talking in my head then I usually learn something about them that will get me moving in the right direction. — Good luck to all!
That is the spirit of the Zero Draft approach. And for that insight, today’s Anita Loos Award recipient is Christine Orlando-Hinton!
Write SOMETHING! Great advice!
