Ace, my third book in the Plot Twist series, is at 62,200 words. There will be at least 10,000 more, I believe. So far, it'll be the longest by a few thousand.
Writing is my jam. My jelly, also. But my mind has a tendency to think quicker than my typing fingers (100+ wpm), and then the fun really begins. I always read through what I wrote the day before because it's just enough but not too much, you know? And behold...there were four words missing scattered throughout the text. Because I thought them when I was writing and assumed my fingers kept up. 😑
That's a little hitch in my giddy-up. I also love the songs. If I don't stop myself, I'll have contrasting words in my head between the latest song kicked off by a phrase or word and the actual story. 😕
This happened yesterday, and I caught myself typing the lyrics into my text. Then snorted at myself and fixed it.
Maybe it's my wee grey matter taking a moment. 💀
My ear worms are varied. I have three or four I always fall back into when writing. Then, triggers by text. Singing an ode to Murphy. You know, the regular shit.
Of course I'll share! Thanks for asking.
Ear worms from the underworld:
Take a Chance On Me
Stayin' Alive
Love in an Elevator
I'll Make a Man Out of You
There's at least two more, but I'll save those, I guess, for when I'm writing on Ace. 🙄🤣
