One month. FADE IN to FADE OUT. Creativity meets Productivity.
Zero Draft Thirty: Day 4.
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!

Zero Draft Thirty: Day 1
Zero Draft Thirty: Day 2
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: Aideen McCarthy.
Happy writing folks, hang in there and remember — if you only write 3 pages a day for 30 days that’s a 90 page feature and if you only write 2 pages a day for 30 days that a one hour tv pilot. YOU CAN DO IT!
3 pages per day. 1 in the morning. 1 in the afternoon. 1 at night.
For that bit of math wizardry, the recipient of today’s Anita Loos Award is Aideen McCarthy!
Congratulations, Aideen!
