Today’s Writing Quote
The first draft is the one thing
they can’t take away from you,
so revel in it.
Don’t let anyone tell you
that the most important part
is the mechanics of it all.
The most important part
is the initial daydream.
— Daniel Waters
Today’s Inspirational Image
We may feel like we’re just inching our way toward the Finish Line, but each inch is one inch closer to the goal. The fact you can even see The End is a visible sign of your progress.
So press forward. Run the good race. Inch along, if you must.
And you must!
Get the damn thing done!
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: This tweet from Holly Kyle really says it all:
For that contribution, today’s august Trumbo Award goes to Holly Kyle!
Onward!
