Today’s Writing Quote

“The point is getting it all down, even if it’s crap or incomprehensible to anyone but you.”

— Warren Ellis

Today’s Inspirational Video

A video produced by the Writers Guild Foundation called Words:

It was released in 1987, the year I joined the Guild. I remember seeing it several times and it inspired me as I pushed myself to learn the craft.

Today’s Anita Loos Award winner: CK Love.

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

That impulse to write. It does seem to arise out of a state of restlessness. It’s as if our creativity, which is roiling around inside, seeks to break forth from subterranean solitude into the light of day.

Give voice to it. Let it feed off the sunshine and breathe the air.

For that inspiration, the recipient of today’s Anita Loos Award is CK Love!\

Congratulations, CK!
