Today’s Writing Quote
“Sometimes you’re swinging your way through a first draft
like a blind miner with a pick-axe.
That’s OK. Get it done…
nothing else matters.”
— Justin Marks (The Jungle Book, Top Gun 2)
Today’s Inspirational Video
Hat Tip Lorenzo Colonna
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.
Onward!
UPDATE: The buzz continues with lots of great comments and conversation, both on Twitter and here on the blog. One of the reasons I’m pushing blog comments is I can archive these posts, so whatever resources, inspirational quotes, and the like become part of an ongoing resource for future writers. Therefore keep ’em comin’!
Time for today’s The Trumbo Award which goes to Emily Ross who posted this to Facebook:
With these comments:
Proof that things are happening. Best way to learn is to do and adjust as you go.
Congratulations, Emily! You are today’s Trumbo Award winner!
And to all of you who are staring at your own monitor screens… making words appear… from your souls… to your minds… to your fingertips… and into the world…
May the Muses be with you!
I will be up late again tonight, so if you post comments here, on Facebook, or Twitter, I’ll be sure to check them out before crawling off to bed.
Good job, everyone!
Remember: Trust the process!
