Today’s Writing Quote

“It’s all about what happens next, what happens next. It’s speed chess, not chess.”

— Richard Price

Today’s Inspirational Video

I recently discovered the composer Akira Rabelais whose work extends over quite a bit of musical geography. His last album “the little glass” is primarily comprised of ambient keyboard pieces. This one is especially contemplative and I find great for writing.

Today’s Anita Loos Award winner: Holly Soriano!

Over at the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group, Holly posted this:

I’ve been reworking my draft that I plan to finish by the 28th. And I have to say that my trip to my family helped me to come up with a more dynamic story. My thoughts about this? It’s good to bond with family. If this isn’t possible, it’s still great to find a way to step out of your life if only for a moment to give perspective.

Well said. Writing is important. But nothing is as important as family. For that reminder, the recipient of today’s Anita Loos Award is Holly Soriano!

Congratulations, Holly!
