Today’s Writing Quote

“Plot is no more than footprints left in the snow after your characters have run by on their way to incredible destinations.”

— Ray Bradbury

Today’s Inspirational Video

Today’s Loos Award recipient: John Cant.

Over at the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group page, John posted this the other day:

Days 1 & 2: steady progress, and I will settle for that just now.

This is a good reminder that if you write every day … steady progress … the page count adds up.

Some of you may prefer jamming out twenty, thirty, or more pages in an intense writing weekend.

Nothing wrong with that.

But writing every day is a great habit to develop. To be honest, it’s one of the subtext messages I hope folks pick up from me blogging every day since 2008 (except for two months to recuperate from shoulder surgery).

For that piece of simple, but powerful wisdom, today’s recipient of the Anita Loos Award is John Cant!

Congratulations, John!
