I had to revise my word count upwards, because this is definitely going to take more than 10K words. Positive things: the introductory part is over and Steve has arrived on the scene, which means the real plot can start now. I also had a little chat with J. and he suggested an alternative turn-out for the ending which is even better than the one I had planned. So YAY to that.

True story.

“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to.”
― Jim Jarmusch
