Reinvigoration.
A friend of mine at work, Lauren, lent me Madonna's most recent CD which I added to my iPod. It's surprising how an infusion of new music can be inspiring, especially beat-heavy dance music. I didn't want to write tonight, true, but I did, and there were those brief spans of time when I wouldn't really look at the screen; instead I would stare transfixed at the keyboard as my fingers flitted across its surface, chowing through 500 words faster than usual. I strongly suggest Madonna's "Jump" as a power up song. If Madonna's not your thing, try anything new to you and upbeat. If it can make you bounce and bob as you write, then you'll feel your energy renewed.
Still not in love with my book, but I'm pushing, nay, cattle-prodding it forward. It's excruciating, but also oddly empowering--I'm proving at this point that I'm no quitter.
Saw the new Bond movie today, "Casino Royale". Found out that I personally would pay $9 bucks to watch Daniel Craig run, if that was his next film. So hot. My new inspiration for the love-interest in my book, a Chicago cop. Yummy! The movie was pretty good, and shit blew up. Not a bad time at the movies.
Now? It is time to eat, Wii, and sleep sometime in the next six hours. In that order.
