Today’s Writing Quote

“I believe myself that a good writer doesn’t really need to be told anything except to keep at it.”

— Chinua Achebe

Today’s Inspirational Video

The incomparable guitarist Django Reinhardt was the first jazz talent to emerge from Europe. What’s even more remarkable is that after suffering first and second degree burns across much of his body, leaving two fingers on his left hand paralyzed, Reinhardt overcame his injuries to develop his unique musical style. Watch the video above. Track how his left hand flies up the fingerboard and how fast his right hand moves. Astonishing skill.

What can we, as writers, created with OUR fingers? For inspiration, check out this anthology of music recorded by Reinhardt.

Today’s Loos Award winner: Rose Judson.

In the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group, Rose posted this the other day:

Me: Gonna get up early and do pages 5–8!

Cat: no

Ah, our pets. Or for those of you cat “owners,” it’s more like we are their “humans.” What better way to get a writer’s attention than simply to sit on their laptop computer and give them a determined stare. Scratch behind my ears… NOW! Other times, they sit in our laps, by our side, at our feet while we work away. Whatever they do, we love them. Whether they realize it or not, they are our writing companions.

For this wonderful photo, the recipient of today’s Anita Loos Award is Rose Judson!
