All by myself today, so...

Here's where I'm at right now:


Not sure how many words I added today, but man... I'm totally into this tale.

And I really, really need to thank this wonderful, most awesome band.

You see, right now I'm in the thick of things. A sequence of bad things are going to get this novel to the end. And although I knew what had to happen, the order in which it should go was starting to feel a little murky. So, this morning after I dropped my daughter off at school, I stuck the headphones into my ears and played their album A Beautiful Lie.

During three of their songs -- From Yesterday, The Story and R-Evolve -- it all just came to me. Honestly, I kid you not.

Their music is my muse for today. And for that, I thank them.

*Sigh*

Can I grow up to be you, Yolanda?

Seriously, though, I can't write to music with lyrics. The words in the song get in the way of the words in my head. I suppose I could turn on some jazz or classical, but usually, I just write in silence. (Well, unless the kids are home. Then I write to sound of arguments.)

Hey Ericka! Trying to. :)


LOL Jackie. And about the music, I'm like that sometimes too. The funny thing is that I heard another song before these three (by another artist) and couldn't concentrate. I could only sing along. :D That's very weird, isn't it?
