Devil in the Words. Книга для практики английского языка

Peter sat at the computer and wrote down aВ few sentences from time toВ time. The text ofВ the book grew. The second and third paragraphs appeared. Peter even thought that if he wrote at such aВ speed, he could finish aВ whole chapter inВ aВ day. It was only necessary toВ catch the impulse ofВ inspiration. Some authors wrote twenty novels aВ year, which is almost two novels aВ month, that is, at least one thousand pages ofВ text per month. It was quite possible toВ write one chapter inВ aВ day, and moreover, Peter felt that he could doВ it.

He gathered all his thoughts into one and began toВ write. Lines began toВ appear on aВ white sheet ofВ paper on the monitor. Dialogues and scenes appeared, characters began toВ do something, they began toВ come toВ life, becoming not just text, but characters who had their own desires and thoughts.

InВ aВ burst ofВ inspiration, Peter sat at the computer until lunch. He managed toВ write an entire chapter inВ literally three hours. The chapter was small, only two and aВ half thousand words, but for Peter it was aВ real achievement, he felt the strength toВ create.

The sound ofВ keys clicking came from the corridor. My sister returned from school. Motya ran out into the corridor toВ meet her. She took off her briefcase and went toВ her room. Peter watched her through the slightly open door.

Taking the mug, he noticed that it was out ofВ coffee. He got up from the table and went toВ the kitchen toВ pour somethingВ new.

Turning on the kettle, he poured sugar and coffee into the mug, and when the kettle boiled, he poured hot water over everything, adding milk at theВ end.

He returned toВ the room, but his sister was already sitting at the computer, heatedly discussing something on aВ social network.

– Now I’m sitting at the computer. – she said, typing a message.

Peter put the coffee mug on the table and went toВ the kitchen toВ watchВ TV.

There was still aВ series about witches on TV. It was shown almost all day. Peter sat down at the table, leaned his elbows on his hands, and began toВ watch him. Several episodes were shown aВ day. Most ofВ them repeated, adding only one new one per day. Peter looked thoughtfully at the TV, but it was obvious that his thoughts were somewhere else.

After half an hour, he couldn’t stand it anymore and went into the room to get his computer back.
