Today’s Writing Quote
“Then comes the great leap which is the first draft,
I call it ‘the muscle draft,’
where you just muscle it out.
You don’t worry about what you’re missing,
you just get through it,
get to the end.”
— Darren Aronofsky
Today’s Inspirational Thought
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: Jason Killpack posted this for the Facebook group:
Writing a zero draft is a journey of discovery. It helps if we can embrace the spirit of wandering. Yes, we may feel Lost, but if we trust the process, we are rewarded by the things we Find along the way — story elements, jewels and diamonds in the rough.
For this posting this bit of writing wisdom, today’s esteemed Trumbo Award goes to Jason Killpack!
Onward!
