I can’t write in dead silence. I have to either have music or a show/movie of some sort playing in the background. It’s like white noise except I actually pay attention to it while I’m working. More often than not, it’s something supernatural or fantasy in nature. Underworld, The Magicians, Game of Thrones, Supernatural, etc.
Last night, I was surfing Hulu for something to watch when I came across a little junk food for the brain. Thanks to the ten-year anniversary of the first film, the covers of the Twilight series have been redone and the first one caught my eye. I said fuck it and hit play.
Just a few minutes in to writing, my tablet starting getting all uppity about a low battery (excuse #1) so I put it on to charge and switched up to writing in my notebook. Then I got hungry so I had to set the notebook aside to eat (excuse #2) but for some reason, it took forty-five minutes to eat one slice of pizza. Then there was a song in the movie that reminded me of another song but I couldn’t remember the name so I had to look it up (excuse #3). Once I found the name of the song and listened to it….and three more after it….I went back to the movie and my notebook. Before I knew it, I was hitting play on Eclipse and most of the night was gone.
As a result, I got less than 1,000 words written for the whole night. Thankfully, I had a good run the night before and came in way above my goal. It still leaves me a touch behind where I want to be for the week but I think I’m going to beat the goal tonight to make up for it. I’ll update you guys again tomorrow and let you know.

Okay, I’m off for the night. Hope you’re all having a wonderful week!
