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…
DO THAT!
September 1: You type FADE IN / “Once upon a time…”
September 30: You type FADE OUT / “…They all lived happily ever after.”

Today’s Writing Quote
“Sometimes you’re swinging your way through a first draft like a blind miner with a pick-axe. That’s OK. Just get it done.”
— Justin Marks

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: Jonathan Champ!
Over at the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group, one of our super-moderators posted this during a recent Twenty-Four Hour Writing Scamper-A-Thon:
Don’t reread, don’t edit, don’t look back. This is Zero Dreft scampering. Write.
Yep, that’s pretty much it. Hell, Jonathan takes that “don’t edit” thing to heart, he didn’t go back to fix Dreft into Draft. Now THAT shows commitment to move the damn thing toward Fade Out.
For that bit of writing inspiration, the recipient of today’s Anita Loos Award is Jonathan Champ!
Now go right! [I’m not going to edit… not gonna… nope, go forwarrd… oops, did it again… keep righting… writing…]
