New Moon, Photographic Memory, and Popcorn

Well, there you have it. New Moon. Went out tonight with a friend to see the second movie in the epic Twilight series. And it was VERY entertaining!
Lots of criticism from many sources....but I feel exactly as I do about the books. No Nobel prizes for literature, no Academy Awards for the movie. But did they tell a great story? Yes.
I must look back to the author (Stephenie Meyer) and her amazing story. Look at what one person can do, with perseverence and a little talent! Yes, inspiring.
I hope my book can have an ounce of her book's success...I don't need movies and an entire franchise, I just need to get it done and published. Funny enough, however, I see the entire story like a movie in my head. Didn't find out till I was in my 6th year of university that I have a photographic memory (so that's why I can remember to many phone numbers and passwords!), and I see everything from the characters to the scenes in panoramic technicolour. I even know what music I'd use for the scenes (epic battle in second book between Nola and her love Gabriel with her father = Beethoven Symphony No. 2 Opus 97: Allegretto, for your information).
I didn't write tonight, still stuck at 19,000, but I count tonight's activities worthy research and helpful as a boost of inspiration. And...it's always good to relax and eat a little popcorn.
