One month. FADE IN to FADE OUT. Creativity meets Productivity.
Zero Draft Thirty: Day 15.
Write an entire draft of a script in March — 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!
Plus, it’s a great way to practice social distancing while you hibernate inside to avoid viral infection!

Today’s Writing Quote
“Reprogram your brain so THE END isn’t a giant finish line. You got pages done today. You’ll do more tomorrow.”
— Eric Heisserer
Today’s Inspirational Video
There has never been a late night talk show host who could match the comic timing and sensibilities of Johnny Carson. Witness this classic exchange with Burt Reynolds. This is only a snippet. It went on for several more minutes. But notice how Carson tops the gag at the end of the clip. It’s also a good object lesson about the power of visual storytelling. No dialogue between the pair, yet tons of laughs. I find that inspiring!
Today’s Loos Award winner: Craig McGeady.
