Today’s Writing Quote
“Writing is finally about one thing: going into a room alone and doing it.”
— William Goldman
Today’s Inspirational Video
Perhaps the single greatest rhetorical moment in American history. Such an inspiration to strive for a better society, to be better humans, and recognize the humanity in all of us.
And each of those, my friends, is a worthy goal for writers and our stories.
If you have a writing quote appropriate for pounding out a zero draft, post to Comments, Twitter, or Facebook.
If you have a video to inspire or perhaps give us a laugh, post to Comments, Twitter, or Facebook.
But here’s the biggie: Head to Comments, Twitter, and Facebook to support each other!
How many pages did you write in the last 24 hours? Or if you’re prepping the story, what did you work on? How are you feeling about your story? Are you loving or hating your writing process? Did you have a good day or a bad day? Do you have any questions about your writing process? Ready to give a virtual hug… or maybe you need one.
Comments, Twitter, Facebook. That’s where the Zero Draft Thirty community gathers. Remember: Every day I’ll be handing out the coveted Trumbo Award to the best Comment, Tweet, Photoshop, anything you come up with to get our collective juices going.
And each day in November, I’ll be dishing out a special batch of ZDT-flavored creative juju for everyone who posts.
Nothing else to say. Just. Write.
UPDATE: Who loves Ira Glass and This American Life? I do. And so does Nate Ruegger who tweeted this the other day:
Word of wisdom! And for that inspiration, Nate Ruegger is today’s recipient of the esteemed Trumbo Award!
Onward!
