Days 7&8: 15,101 Words
And if my goal is 60,000 Words, then this makes me 1/4 of the way there. Hooray.
Today was a combo day of writing and also outline refining. I’m writing the story in dual first person p.o.v. from Evadne and Marsha, with chapters alternating between the two women. I knew each of the two story-lines already, but today I made sure that they connected up in the right places, so that the reader will go, “oh, hey…” at certain points in the story. It is always good to go “oh, hey…”, I find.
I also wrote a fictional scene in which Evadne and her B.A.T. go see a real life rock opera called Tonya & Nancy, (I’ll definitely be sending you this chapter at some point, Elizabeth), which I saw last week and which was beyond expectations of awesomeness. I was talking to a friend about it, and I think that was the best part of the whole thing – the dancers were great, the music, the costumes, the blocking was all incredible, but the best part was that I went into it with very high expectations, and was even expecting to be let down a little bit, since I knew my expectations were so high. But I wasn’t let down at all. It rocked. i should actually post a bit from that on here, once I’m done that chapter.
Also, Uri Caine remains a steady writing companion, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants a bit of artisticness inducing and yet not too distracting music.

do you listen to any/all uri caine, or specific albums?
I put all of Uri Caine on random, because 1) I haven’t listened to him enough to have preferences for some albums over others and b) If I do allow myself to become more familiar with albums, I suspect I might start thinking about the music and anticipating or changing it, and become distracted from the task at hand.
