Today’s Writing Quote
“Writing equals butt on chair.”
— Oliver Stone
Today’s Inspirational Video
“Dreams without goals are just dreams. Have goals. Life goals, yearly goals, monthly goals, daily goals. I try to give myself a goal every day. Understand that to achieve these goals, you must apply discipline and consistency.”
Today’s Loos Award winner: Jali C.
So it begins, indeed! When you type FADE IN, you are not just typing two words. You are typing two words on what was mere seconds before a blank page. And we all know the fear and dread a blank page can create.
It takes courage to write. But as Denzel Washington states in the video above, we must be willing to “fail big”.
When we type FADE IN, we are doing just that: Committing to the possibility we may fail big.
But you know what?
We can never succeed big unless we take that first step.
And for that reminder, today’s Anita Loos Award recipient is Jali C!
