Today’s Writing Quote
“A great script creates an irresistible narrative flow that propels a reader to an inevitable dramatic conclusion.”
— Javier Grillo-Marxuach
Today’s Inspirational Video
This amazing performance may have been the moment where Janis Joplin became JANIS JOPLIN. She totally grabbed the audience and would not let them go. An object lesson for our screenwriting.
Today’s Loos Award winner: Mark Mackey.
Over at the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group, Mark put into words precisely what every zeronaut needs to see right now for some extra motivation:
Finished.
Yep, he’s done. Mark finished his zero draft. That’s goal. Get the damn thing done! Then you got something. The story is real. Imperfect, sure, but no matter how much time you spend on a first draft, it’s always going to be flawed and in need of a rewrite.
Therefore, for that succinct articulation of his writing status, the recipient of today’s Anita Loos Award is Mark Mackey!
