Today’s Writing Quote
“If I could say anything, it’s keep going. Don’t go back and fix that scene, that dialogue. Just write the next word.”
— Ann Hamilton Phelan
Today’s Inspirational Video
“Steal Away” is an old African-American slave song and is thought to have been used as a code related to escape attempts. Sung here in a recording from 1957 by the great Mahalia Jackson, then joined by Nat King Cole. What an amazing voice she had!
Today’s Loos Award winner: Mike Shields.
A little over two pages a day. Do that for a month and you’ll manage a serviceable zero draft somewhere in the 70–80 page range. That’s all it takes. Just do it every day. For that bit of inspiration, the recipient of today’s Anita Loos Award is Mike Shields.
A handful of days left in this Challenge. Make the most of them. Grind out those pages.
ONWARD!
