Today’s Writing Quote
“There’s a magic to being present when you’re writing a character. Just spit it out, then go back and edit it later.”
— Reid Carolin
Today’s Inspirational Video
The incomparable guitarist Django Reinhardt was the first jazz talent to emerge from Europe. What’s even more remarkable is that after suffering first and second degree burns across much of his body, leaving two fingers on his left hand paralyzed, Reinhardt overcame his injuries to develop his unique musical style. Watch the video above. Track how his left hand flies up the fingerboard and how fast his right hand moves. Astonishing skill.
What can we, as writers, created with OUR fingers? For inspiration, check out this anthology of music recorded by Reinhardt.
Today’s Loos Award winner: Lindsay McRae.
Because of his passion for music, Django Reinhardt survived a fire to become one of the world’s most renowned musicians. I found Lindsay’s post, featured in the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group, to provide a nifty spin on the legacy of the great jazz guitarist. Why AREN’T we running like we are on fire toward our wildest dreams?
If you are a writer participating in the 2018 Zero Draft Thirty March Challenge, you aren’t walking toward your dreams, you are sprinting ahead: FADE IN to FADE OUT in a month.
For acknowledging that spirit, Lindsay McRae is today’s recipient of the Anita Loos Award!
