Today’s Writing Quote

“It’s all about what happens next, what happens next. It’s speed chess, not chess.”

— Richard Price

Today’s Inspirational Video

I recently discovered the composer Akira Rabelais whose work extends over quite a bit of musical geography. His last album “the little glass” is primarily comprised of ambient keyboard pieces. This one is especially contemplative and I find great for writing.

Today’s Loos Award winner: Tom Mulligan.

Tom posted this in the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group:

Unfortunately it’s looking like I won’t make it to ‘fade out’ by the end of the month. Full disclosure, I started rewatching Game of Thrones and ended up spending far more time on that than I anticipated!

Now that’s out of the way, I’m distraction free and charging ahead today with a solid 3–4 hour push to finally get me to the back end of act two.

Stay faithful to the stories in your head and most importantly, don’t let them live there forever!

While I can’t recommend getting lost in a rewatch of ‘Game of Thrones’ as a viable path to productivity, I fully embrace this sentiment:

With Tom’s addendum: Don’t let them live there forever! That’s what the Zero Draft Thirty Challenges are all about: Making real what you once only dreamed. For that bit of inspiration, the recipient of today’s Anita Loos Award is Tom Mulligan!

Only a couple more days to go until the end of this edition of the Challenge. Finish strong!
