Odd Soul

Here we go
Wasting lives one way or another
Here we go
Vacant eyes rearranging their color
Wasting lives one way or another

This is when it gets hard. Well, actually, it got hard about a week ago. Today, I should have 12,000 words. I just reached 5,503. But it's progress, and that's all that counts. It's the word count, not the content, I have to keep reminding myself.

Where’s your nerve gone?
And where’s your hope?
And where’s that sunrise you’ve been waiting for?
And where’s that one day you got it all?
Well, I bet we’ll find it in no time at all

I killed off most of my characters. (by "killed off" I mean "removed from the story") I might bring them back later as I feel inspired, but they have been put on hold for now. I finally have an idea for where I want this story to go, and I'm going to run with it.

Nothing’s gonna stop what we started
Nothing’s gonna break what we’ve bonded
We can make the world spin however we want
It’s all on us

Inspiration has been coming from a lot of places lately--mundane life happenings, random dreams, good/new music...
Lyrics are from "Allies", "In No Time", and "Equals" on Mutemath's new album, Odd Soul. Buy it. Worth it. That's all I'm gonna say.

Ramen and flashlights,
