Today’s Writing Quote
“Plot is no more than footprints left in the snow after your characters have run by on their way to incredible destinations.”
— Ray Bradbury
Today’s Inspirational Video
An oldie but goodie:
Transcript: “ I feel… I feel happy of myself. Everybody, I know you can believe in yourself. If you believe in yourself, you will know how to ride a bike! If you don’t, you start practicing. You will get the hang of it, I know it! If you keep practicing, you will get the hang of it and then you can get better and better at it and you’ll do it. Thumbs up, everybody. Rock ’n’ roll!”
And now, the Songify version:
Hey, if a kid can learn to ride a bike, then do a video which generates tens of millions of views, for sure we can nail a great script!
