Progress! (after a fashion)

I think my book has turned something of a corner.  Last night, as I started writing, I was having trouble getting going, couldn't focus, didn't know where to take the plot. That might have had something to do with the fact that I was trying to write in the living room while the family was watching Kung Fu Panda.  Maybe.

I took myself back into the office, put on some music, and got to work.

And things started to flow.  I thought I was going to have a hard time finishing my 1700 words.  I got down over 3000.  I'm looking forward to sitting down with it tonight and moving the plot further forward.  I have no idea what obstacles are about to come down.  There have been a few things that surprised me already. 

The weird thing - the music I put on? Hymns. Not typically the kind of music you write a sci-fi/fantasy Hong Kong Kung-Fu action epic to, eh? 

So, current word count is at 17640.  And it is still published here.
