Pulling me Through that Open Door

It's Kevin's birthday on sunday and I still haven't bought him a gift. I was thinking of getting him pyjamas (he wore huge holes through the last one and had to throw it away), a nice book and, perhaps, Brazil on DVD (Terry Gilliam is his favourite director.)

It's close to leaving time and once again i've done no work. I've been reading [livejournal.com profile] icymorning's novel, thinking to myself:

"This will be published one day... and I can tell the world I was one of the first to read it!"

There's this scene in the first chapter where the narrator sees a black girl sing from an apartment window, in New York. It sent shivers down my spine. She has also inspired me to continue working on my own novel. I had set it originally in Montreal, but I've now decided to bring it all to London - hopefully the story will get closer to me and open new venues to be explored.
