2019 Zero Draft Thirty September Challenge: Day 12

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

Zero Draft Thirty: Day 12.

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 inaugural Ben Hecht Award!

Today’s Ben Hecht Award winner: Cindi Woods!

Look at these two words:

Writer.

Waiter.

Only one letter difference. But a person who waits instead of writers is likely going to struggle as a writer… because they’re more of a waiter.

And I don’t mean the restaurant kind.

For this bit of inspiration, the recipient of today’s Ben Hecht Award is Cindi Woods!

Congratulations, Cindi!

It’s Day 12 of the 2019 Zero Draft Thirty September Challenge.

Do you know where your words are? Right there at your keyboard… awaiting your fingers.

Onward!
