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…

September 1: You type FADE IN / “Once upon a time…”

Today’s Inspirational Video
I love this song! Molly Tuttle singing “Take the Journey.” Amazing clawhammer guitar technique. Here are the lyrics:
Cold, cold nights lead to cold, cold mornings
The road keeps going and it never seems to end
Lonely hearts that cry without warning
When the light ain’t shining from around the bend
Take the journey
No matter where it starts or where it ends
Take the journey
Someday you’ll make it back home again
You can try to control the weather
But the rain inside you is still gonna fall
Days of drought will merely starve you
There’s no use hiding, we gotta face it all
Take the journey
No matter where it starts or where it ends
Take the journey
Someday you’ll make it back home again
Skies are falling all around you
Who will protect you from your deepest fears?
Take the hand of the one besides you
Let the fire guide you ’til the path is clear
Take the journey
No matter where it starts or where it ends
Take the journey
Someday you’ll make it back home again
Someday you’ll make it back home
Hero’s Journey! Heroine’s Journey! Protagonist’s Journey! Writer’s Journey!

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: Sandy Chukhadarian.
Over in the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group, Sandy posted this:
Is it too late to start the sept challenge ?
What do you think the responses were?
Pj Woodside: Of course not! It’s still September.
Jonathan Melikidse: Not at all! Get it!
Andale Mi Amor: Jump in!
Kathy McManis Holzapfel: It’s never too late for love…or #ZD30SCRIPT
Brian Paris: Best time to start is the first. Second best time is today.
Anita Tucker: Good because I am also starting today!
H Raven Rose: I’m starting late, also, though, happily, I was outlining a new script on September 3 during a bout of insomnia.
Julia Morizawa: It’s never too late!
Tully Archer: Course not! GIT IT!
To honor Sandy’s leap into the fray, she is the recipient of today’s Anita Loos Award!
No better time to begin the Zero Draft Thirty Challenge than right now!
