Creative Dilemmas

Well, the research for my new novel is coming right along... But there is a problem... I am developing a soundtrack of songs that I am listening to while I research. It is helping me to write the story in my head. Now here is the problem. I see the story in terms of a screen play, but it falls in a different order than the novel. It is all very confusing. Basically, I am seeing two different versions of the same story through two different views.

How does one incorporate music into a novel. I find it very important to grab the feel of the sounds I am listening to. They are almost as important to this story as the story itself. I hope my writing can do it justice because what I imagine is really, really good. I want to start writing like NOW! I don't have the patience for this research, but the more I do the better the story gets. Focus and patience.

I am so used to being able to pump art out quickly. I guess producing a novel in a month ain't necessarily at a snail's pace either. Guess, I'll be patient... I just better be finishing this thing up in march or I'm a be, not happy. Then I can get to work on making it into a screen play.

Always got to be having a deadline... Even if it is self imposed. It helps to feel the pressure of an expected due date.
