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: Felicia Casey Stewart.
Over at the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group, Felicia posted this simple, but profound thought.
To write or not to write. Is there really any question?
If you are called to write, there should be no question. You must write. That is your fate, your destiny. Whether you succeed as a writer (in the eyes of the world) is less important than the simple fact: You responded to the call of the Creative. You can do no less than that.
For that bit of inspiration, the recipient of today’s Anita Loos Award is Felicia Casey Stewart!
This is the last day of this month’s Zero Draft Thirty Challenge. Make the most of it. Pound out as many pages as you can.
