Today’s Writing Quote
“When I start writing,
I just have to keep reminding myself
to make every scene interesting.”
— Destin Daniel Cretton
Today’s Inspirational Visual
This was posted in the Facebook group by Juliette Lewis and Paula Redlefson. You can think of it as the process of writing a script or your Protagonist’s journey. I added this thought:
“Just add car chases, grizzly bears, attacking aliens, internal strife, shocking revelations, a ticking bomb, a femme fatale, and a MacGuffin, and you’ve got the plot for a movie!”
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 is for all you wordy types who are also mathy types:
Knowledge, yes. Hard work, also yes. But attitude, a big YES! That’s what the Zero Draft approach is all about: An attitude that says, “Screw it. I’m jamming out pages and nothing is going to stop me.”
For that bit of inspiration, today’s revered Trumbo Award goes to Justin McLaughlin!
Onward!
