Today’s Inspirational Video

It’s a Zero Draft Thirty tradition, beginning and ending each Challenge with a few words of wisdom from our Spirit Guide — actor turned screenwriter — Shia Labeouf. Here is a rough transcription of his message:

“JUST DO IT!!!”

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 Anita Loos Award!

Today’s Anita Loos Award winner: Cate!

What better way to begin the Challenge than The Rock giving us some GIF encouragement! For that visual uplift, Cate (@supergayscripts) is today’s recipient of the Anita Loos Award!
