Zero Draft Thirty: Day 21.
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!

Today’s Writing Quote
“Sometimes you’re swinging your way through a first draft like a blind miner with a pick-axe. That’s OK. Just get it done.”

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: Justin K Hayward.
This is what we want to see. Writers hitting the halfway point and heading down the home stretch toward FADE OUT. Downhill for the Protagonist AND the Writer. For this bit of inspiration, today’s Ben Hecht Award recipient is Justin K Hayward.
Congratulations, Justin!
10 more days left including today. From here on out, there will be a LOT of people hitting FADE OUT and celebrating. Use that as inspiration to push yourself toward the end of your draft.
Onward!
