Music Monday: 20th December 2010

This week's song is Hot by Avril Lavigne




I picked it because yesterday I finished Suns and Stars (YAY!) and this is the song I think fits the final scene.

Music Monday: 13th December 2010

The song of the week is Walls by All Time Low.




I picked it because it's Dulcie's love theme. The lyrics will tell you everything else you need to know.

Music Monday: 6th November 2010

The song of the week is Solaris by Elliot Minor.



I picked it because the video gave me the inital idea for Suns and Stars, back in August last year, and it's Tristan's love theme.

Music Monday: 29th November 2010

This week's song is Hey Kristina by All Caps.



I picked it because this weekend I was having difficulting motivating myself to write the scene I'm currently on, and this is one of my favourites from the album that helped big time (Bmin/E).

Music Monday: 22nd November 2010

This week's song is Love Story by Taylor Swift.




It's Suns and Stars' overall theme tune, not because my story bears any resemblance to Romeo & Juliet, but because my story features forbidden love and a dad who doesn't want his daughter going out with the guy she loves and some of the lines fit perfectly with some scenes. And there are two versions that really stand out when it comes to Suns and Stars - this version, which fits Dulcie's POV, and Dave Days' (an amazing guy I discovered on YouTube) version, which fits Tristan's POV. Yay for versions of songs in different gender POVs!

Music Monday: 15th November 2010

This week's song is Worlds Apart by Twenty Twenty.




I picked it because it is Tristan's and Dulcie's couple theme tune. It's their theme tune because it fits the whole thing of how they are different - Tristan is human, Dulcie is fae - and yet, no matter what, even though they've been through so much crap, they will be there for each other. Because they love each so much. Though it does take them a long time to realise that, but never mind.

Music Monday: 8th November 2010

This week's song is Good Girls Go Bad by Cobra Starship.



The reason I picked it is because the whole album, Hot Mess, has been helping me loads when it comes to motivation and writing quickly, and this is one of my favourite tracks on it. Plus, it's the kind of song that makes me want to get up and dance, which is perfect for writing when I'm feeling kind of tired.

Music Monday: 1st November 2010

It's NaNo, but I'm still going to blog. :) Just don't expect a lot of posts. Anyway...

My song of the week is The NaNoWriMo Song by All Caps.




The reason why it's my song of the week is very simple. It totally fits my life for the next few weeks!

My NaNo!

Yep, NaNoWriMo starts on Monday, which means that it's about time I told you about it. It is called Fall and here is my blurb:

October 2010. A new chapter in Natalie's life. University. Within two weeks of starting, she meets Caleb. Instantly, she fancies him and as well as trying to do as well as she can in uni, she tries her hardest to pluck up the courage to ask him out. But will she ever do it? Only time will tell...

It sounds cliche, I know, but hopefully it won't be when it's finished. I'm hoping to write a cute and quirky romantic comedy, with a few twisted motivations. It's inspired by my crush at uni - although there aren't any twisted motivations there - so I'm bound to come up with a few ideas and do okay writing it!

Unfortunatly, Suns and Stars is on hold, due to writer's block, but I'm hoping to finish both of these by the end of the year and start editing them early next year!

Music Monday: 25th October 2010

So, this is the start of Music Mondays. Every week, I'll be posting a song that fits my writing since the last MM post, whether it's a theme tune, inspiring song... My song of the week.

So, this week that song is Sugar Rush by Cash Cash.




The reason I picked this song is because it's Natalie's, the FMC from my NaNo Fall (more about that later this week), love theme. She thinks Caleb, the MMC, is totally adorable, and he gives her "one big sugar rush" every she sees him.Just switch the genders in the song around, and it fits. I can also see her listening to it and instantly thinking of him, which makes it even more fitting.
