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…

Today’s Writing Quote
“I don’t believe in rules for writing screenplays. What that gives you is formula, and the result will be formulaic.”

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: Carter Ferguson.
On Twitter with the handle @FilmProProdPod, Carter has been providing daily updates on his #ZD30SCRIPT progress. Here’s the latest.
When Carter refers to “shooting that fight scene,” his job is primarily that of a fight director. He also hosts a podcast called Film Pro Productivity and Success. I admire his drive to pound out pages even with a full work schedule.
Therefore, today’s recipient of the Anita Loos Award is Carter Ferguson.
By the way, that Braveheart tweet? Carter comes by that honestly. He is based out of Scotland. Cue the inspirational bagpipe music!
With that ringing in your ears, time to go charging into today’s pages!
