I have done some 16,000 words or so now – in other words, about a quarter of my projected (guessed at) 60,000 word total. However, when I look at the script, it looks more like I’m nearer halfway through the story… or at least a third of the way through. Maybe it will be a novella rather than a novel. Anyway, there could be more room than I thought available for the non-fiction parts (movie trivia, historical notes and so on).

On another subject (slightly), I often listen to music when I am writing, unless I feel that it is distracting me or messing up the mood. According to this article, some scientists think music makes you smarter! (Original link changed but same article.)

Well, that explains a lot…
