It's supposed to be eyes but that's already been written. First drafts done with thought and foresight are sometimes publishable. Revisions can be overdone to a fault.

Revision is when the real work begins. I'm glad to see you thought "Legs Wide Open" was funny. No writer wants to be the only person who thinks his jokes are funny.

Just let the words flow; and as the words flow you'll be thinking. And as you're thinking you'll come up with ideas. And as you come up with ideas you'll come up with a good idea. Plus you'll also have other ideas that might turn out to be good ideas. Just let the words flow. Papa, that’s my point exactly. Just let the words flow; and as the words flow you’ll be thinking.

And even if you can't use some of what you wrote, you can always use it for something else.
