EVERYBODY'S WORKIN' FOR THE WEEKEND!

Sorry but that song was playing in my head at 6 A.M. this morning.

I wrote just over 1,000 words yesterday and about 900 today. I've updated my word count and as you can see I'm at about 11% which mean's I'm one-tenth of the way there. It's kinda weird to think about. I just have to write nine more segments of ten thousand words and I'll be done. Yet it feels like there's so much to write.

I think as I write this I'll release little "secrets" here and there. The quotes mean that they're not real secrets because they're not giving anything away or spoiling anything.

Today's secret: The first section of this novel takes place in Frankton, which is based off a town in between here and Muncie, one I pass through on my way to and from Ball State. While taking my friends home, they mentioned how much of a zombie town it is and that kind of stuck with me. I mean, it really is because there's never anyone outside or anything. So it would be more aptly named a ghost town, but a zombie town sounds cool. Maybe I'll call my book Zombie Town, but as I told Rob today, I don't want to include 'zombie' in the title. Probably not 'undead' either or similar words. It'll come to me sometime. Rob did show me this cool site called Bonsai Story Generator. Essentially, it turns the text you enter into it (up to 5,000 words, I think) into some kind of a poetry format. You have to see for yourself. Its useful for coming up with titles apparently though I haven't tried it myself.

No new music, books, or movies today. Or comics. I'm still reading Ghoul, Punisher MAX, and listening to Joshua Radin, Richard Buckner, and Secondhand Serenade. Oh, actually...I picked up Dean Koontz's Forever Odd yesterday from the library. It's the third part in the Odd Thomas series and potentially the last. I haven't opened it yet, so I'm hoping to get to that today or at least this weekend.

Take care, Spidey fans.
