2019 Zero Draft Thirty September Challenge: Day 6

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

Zero Draft Thirty: Day 6.

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: Luke Sokolewicz. Under the moniker Mom Isn’t Proud Productions, Luke posted this in the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group:

It reminds me that in 2012, I did an entire series breaking down each of these 22 items. So Luke for not only posting this helpful infographic, but also helping me remember that GITS series from 7 years ago, the recipient of today’s Ben Hecht Award is Luke Sokolewicz.

Congratulations, Luke!
