2018 Zero Draft Thirty September Challenge: Day 18

One month. FADE IN to FADE OUT. Creativity meets Productivity.

Zero Draft Thirty: Day 18.

Write an entire draft of a script in September — FADE IN. FADE OUT. Or any sort of creative goal you have in front of you.

Feature length movie screenplay. Original TV pilot. Rewrite a current project. Break a story in prep. Generate a month’s worth of story concepts.

Whatever you feel will ratchet your creative ambitions into overdrive…

DO THAT!

September 1: You type FADE IN / “Once upon a time…”
September 30: You type FADE OUT / “…They all lived happily ever after.”

It’s free! It’s fun! It’s Fade In to Fade Out!

Each day this month, I’ll post a Zero Draft Thirty Challenge post here at Go Into The Story. And as I’ve done with every past Challenge, I will hand out an award for a notable Tweet, Facebook post, or comment here on the blog. This cycle, the winner will receive the vaunted Anita Loos Award!

Today’s Anita Loos Award winner: Cindi Woods.

“This group makes me feel like Fievel…”even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to know we’re ‘writing’ underneath the same big sky!” Just to know other creative souls are pounding out words, beating their heads against the wall and fighting “the war of art” (read Pressfield’s book if you haven’t already) is an encouragement. Well that and this group is a great excuse to procrastinate:-) Write on!”

For capturing the spirit of the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group, the recipient of today’s Anita Loos Award is Cindi Woods!

Congratulations, Cindi!
