So, what music have I been listening to this year? Surprisingly, I've managed to stick to the music that I've meant to listen to. This includes the soundtracks for The Rundown, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Atonement (typewriter sounds!), and Planet Earth. Electronica includes stuff by Tiesto. Anything else I've tried throws me off. I think it's the sci-fi setting this year that demands the music to have some action sequences.
At this point, I'm ahead on word count although according to my timeline/outline, I'm probably about one-fourth of the way through. By the way the story is progressing, I might try to end the story arc earlier.
