After much screen-staring this morning, I managed to add another 331 words to ELI, for a total of 3349 so far. I had mentioned before I thought something was needed in there before Jonathan takes Eli out of the tent to see the world, and it turns out all that was needed was another sentence or two. It all fits better now.
I had no solid idea where to take him once he was out of the tent, but I knew he couldn't just stand there staring at the world. If Jonathan was taking him outside, he must have had a destination in mind. I finally got them there, but haven't yet decided what happens when they get there. I'm still working on it.
It's funny how things have changed over the years. There was a time years and years ago when I didn't write without music blasting. I would usually draw inspiration from whatever I was listening to, whether a phrase that would add to the story (I did this a lot in my novels RITE OF DAWN and THE THIRD FLOOR, neither of which you've read) or a name if I needed one (such as in my short story "Coming Down the Mountain", which, if you're one of the few to get my collection TERRIBLE THRILLS before the publisher folded, you would have read), but the past several years, I'm finding the music to be too distracting.
I think sometimes it really depends on what I'm working on. For a story that's coming out pretty easily, I think the music doesn't prove to be as big a distraction. If I'm really sunk deep into the story, the music is incidental and I barely notice it. This morning, however, as it usually does when I'm working on something I'm still unsure of, the music just about kept me from adding any words at all. But I did reach a point in my 339 words where I was able to immerse a little more into it and the music sort of disappeared for a minute.
I have a feeling THE EVOLUTION OF ELI just might be the death of me.
On that note, this morning's playlist:
Butch Walker: "Trash Day"
Footstone: "Toothpick"
Jaguar Love: "Polaroids and Red Wine"
Japanther: "Spread So Thin"
Smoking Popes: "Sandra"
all of which only took about 13 minutes, leaving me time to get a little bit into
before it was time to shower and go to work. |
