Whatever you feel will ratchet your creative ambitions into overdrive…

Today’s Inspirational Video
Hey, who is that young lookin’ fellah on the right, there? Why that would be ME back in 1979 performing as Myers & O’Flynn at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in front of about 5,000 music fans. And if the music doesn’t inspired, check out that mustache. Ron Burgundy had nothin’ on me!

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: Pamela Weiss who posted this over in the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group.
Boys to woo women. Women to woo boys. Women to woo women. Boys to woo boys. Non-gender specific to woo non-gender specific. Words are powerful tools to elicit feelings in members of any gender orientation. So use them to your benefit. Choose. Strong. Words. For this reminder, the recipient of today’s Ben Hecht Award is Pamela Weiss.
Congratulations, Pamela. I am very happy… no, cross that… I am ecstatic for you and wish you the best of luck with your writing.
And that goes for ALL of you #ZD30SCRIPT participants. Write!
