Day 156: Writing Day!
Posted by Kelli Joan Bennett
Day 156.
The “Finish My Screenplay” Writing Crusade officially begins today! Woo hoo!
Goal for Day 1 is two new pages.
Fingers crossed, poised and ready to write!
Yay!! Here’s a great quote from Anne Lamott’s book,”Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life”…
“Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he’d had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, ‘Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.'”
I LOVE that! Thank you so much for sharing. Her book is officially on my list to try and find at the library. And if I can’t get it at the library, it’s on the list of books to buy as soon as I’m no longer banned from Amazon. 🙂
Bird by bird, word by word.
