Alright. Here we are. Approaching the last bit of November.So, how am I doing? Well, for the past two days, I've been over 3k behind. I've managed a thousand words each day, but then another day shows up and I'm way behind again. Argh!
I'm fighting, though. And I'll make it. If I have to barricade myself in my office for two straight days without food or water or potty breaks, I will make it.
Okay. Maybe that's a bit extreme.
Anyway, here's your NaNo Monday Mixtape:
I fell in love with this song a few months ago. This is a new version -- a duet! It's a gorgeous song and perfect for the moment Tierney realizes that maybe, just maybe, she's falling for someone else:
Ahh, Keith Urban. I love him. Like, a lot. He's so great at putting emotion into his voice and breaking your heart with a song. This one breaks my heart every single time I hear it. And the mood of it, the absolute heartbreak and desperation, is exactly the tone I want to capture when Tierney reaches her lowest point:
This song has been a favorite of mine for a very long time. When we first meet Tierney, she's broken. Oh, she puts on a good front, almost has herself convinced she's fine. But she's clinging to her pride almost as hard as she's clinging to her past. And one person sees that. This is his song to her:
Alright. Listening to these songs has lighted a fire under my butt. I should be able to crank out some words before work. Fingers crossed!
Happy Monday, everyone! And, if I don't stop in before Thursday, Happy Thanksgiving!
