I love seeing what authors are listening to when they write, and I love finding new music so I decided to start doing Music Mondays to share what I'm listening to!
This week, since I'm knee deep in revisions on Imaginary Heart, I thought I would share a couple of songs from the playlist.
These are from the first draft, and it's interesting how my music choices have changed as I've moved into revisions.
The Ahn Trio & Susie Suh
Aqualung - Strange and Beautiful
Paramore - All I Wanted
Do you use playlists when you write? What are you listening to?
I've been sick for the last week so I decided to post some things that cheer me up. (Really at this point, the thing that makes me happiest is being able to breathe somewhat!)
First up:
Seeing my fave writer/bloggers acheive their goals. And today is a big one!
I'm going to BEA!! Woohoo! NYC, free books and meeting my CP Lacey in person! Does it get better than that?
Third:
My latest musical obsession. This song:
The Ladder - by Andrew Belle
My favorite lyric doesn't actually appear in this video, so I'll quote it for you:
Woe is me Sentimental you and faithful me I will be the one to gaze on you discreetly.
What I love most about this song is that about a week ago I had an experience that inspired an idea for a screenplay and a few days later I discovered this song, which is essentially the theme of my story idea with just the right amount of joy and heartbreak. It so perfectly fits the tone of my idea that I feel like it's a sign from the universe. Now if I could just find the time to write it!
I spent some time this weekend making notes on the book I'm going to write for NaNoWriMo next month. It's my first time doing NaNo and I'm pretty excited. I've had this idea floating around in my brain for a while. It's a YA (of course) ghost story/paranormal romance called Whisper. I always make playlists for my writing projects so I thought I'd share this one.
They didn't have a couple of the songs I'm using, including Stay by Lillix, which sucked, but oh well, you get the idea.
I'm looking for writing buddies for NaNo! If you want to be buddies, I'm valeriekwrites over there!
