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: Trish Curtin.
Over at the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group, Trish posted this:
That’s the spirit! This is why the zero draft approach is so helpful for perfectionists. You KNOW going in that a zero draft is going to be IMPERFECT. Indeed, FAR from perfect. That should free you up. It’s like Miss Frizzle’s mantra from the TV series The Magic School Bus:
You can ALWAYS clean up the mess (i.e., your imperfect draft) in rewrites. For this inspiration, the recipient of today’s Anita Loos Award is Trish Curtin!
Now, it’s time to cut loose with your zero draft… and go get messy!
