♪ Music Monday- Highlander♫

Music Monday 

On Music Mondays I post music that inspires me to write. Joe Hisaishi is one of my favorite composers. He makes the soundtrack music for movies like Ponyo, and Spirited Away. My favorite song by him is the Merry Go Round of Life. The one here is my current favorite, it’s called Highlander. Enjoy!

WIP update: Still editing Nanowrimo novel. I started doing a lot of research to make sure all the mythical facts I collected for my characters were correct. Still doing tons on rewriting, and meanwhile ideas for the next book are constantly popping up in my head. Sooner or later I’m going to give in and start writing it…hopefully after the first revision is done.

Work in progress update, among other things…

So lately I’ve been sort of blanking out…must be because of the rainy weather, so my word count for today is kind of low. I think I need to relearn the "art of not procrastinating".


I decided to change the template for my blog, and I really like it, though I kind of miss the old one now. :(

The book I started reading yesterday was The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger. I was expecting the book to be extremely boring, but I raced through it pretty quickly and now I have only 20 or so pages left to read. I found that the book was actually pretty good! It just goes to show to never judge a book by its cover (or in this case, never judge a book by its copyright date).

Lately I have to do a lot of research for my WIP. My characters are familiar with things I’ve never done before, and the only way they could do it is if I know what it is. I want everything to be as factual as it possibly can without sounding too text-bookish. Has anyone else ever come across this problem before? Anyhow, how’s your work-in-progress coming along?

Here’s a quote I thought I’d share for inspiration-

“Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe, shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish.” –John Jakes


Happy writing,
