Today has been fairly interesting. I slept until nine, in honor of Thanksgiving we have all been sleeping in lately. In the morning I actually did some writing, which is a good thing because other than this post I don’t think I’m going to do any more now. I suppose my title is a bit misleading as I do not intend to relate all of the events of today. I have been listening to an unabridged recording of “The Lord of the Rings” and though I am not completely certain, I think it is having an effect on my writing. Especially on my story as I started a draft of it this morning. I seem to be using longer words than usual and taking far longer in saying things. Which is indeed useful if one is writing for length as I was able to make about a page and a half long one paragraph from my most recent story plot, the one I wrote last night.

While listening to “The Fellowship of the Ring” I have been playing two different games simultaneously. That way I’m getting two rather unimportant things done at once so I’m not exactly wasting my time as I’m listening to the story and getting ideas for my book. I’ve decided it needs a bit more to happen in the plot so as usual I’m “borrowing” or attempting to borrow ideas. Currently I haven’t gotten any so I suppose I’m not borrowing.

As I have camera tomorrow I set an alarm clock for when I ought to turn my lights off and go to sleep and it went off just as I finished the previous sentence. So I suppose I ought to go to bed now. Indeed, I am sleepy. So I’ll end this post. Progress is being made on the story of Dalthnodair. Let us see whether or not I continue to progress.
