Today’s Writing Quote
“I force myself to sit down, write and hope it doesn’t turn out shitty. If it turns out shitty, I change it.”

Today’s Inspirational Video
I *love* these guys. Siblings who live in northern Indiana and they record themselves listening to songs they haven’t heard before. Here, they check out “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins. Their reaction when the drums kick in at the end of the song… priceless. The video has over 7M views. Check this out: Phil Collins’ ‘In the Air Tonight’ sales skyrocket after twins’ viral reaction video. Awesome!

As I say: Get the damn thing done! For that inspiration, today’s Anita Loos Award recipient is Chelsea Berry Regenold!
