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…”

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 Frances Marion Award!
Today’s Frances Marion Award winner: Michi Broman.
Over at the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group, Michi posted this good news:
All babies are ugly unless they’re your baby. — Lorne Michaels
My baby is actually so very very ugly and is kind of deformed, but at least I made a freakin’ baby and that’s a beautiful thing!
Fade out.
I’m having a good cry and then a nap…
I’ve got your back, Michi. First, a good cry:
Then a nap:
Not only a good cry, a nap, and a hearty congratulations, but also, Michi, you are the recipient of today’s Frances Marion Award!
This is the LAST DAY of the Challenge. Make it count. Double… even triple your projected daily page count.
Every little bit helps you move forward toward FADE OUT and The End.
Onward!
