Inspiration Comes When You Least Expect It
If you're reading my fanfic and my LJ, you'd know that I've been uninspired and having a hard time writing. *coughs* see previous entry from last week *coughs* Nothing was coming -- not Prufrock, not DA, not Confessions of a Fairy Godmother... Then yesterday I stumbled onto a song and got inspired again.
Well, if you're following the Against Time Series, chapter 6 is done! That's right. Only to edit and hopefully it'll be up by next week. Trust me, I'm probably more excited than you are to finally get it out. I've started chapter 7 and things really start heating up. Fortunately, I do have all the main events plotted out and hopefully it's back on track.
I didn't think I had it in me to keep going, then I heard Hedley's "Perfect." It totally reminded me of Alec and it fits perfectly with Against Time. Then suddenly I wanted to write for Wake... because all these images came flooding back. And there we have it. So simple? Yeah right. I wish.
I'm not an audiophile like some of my friends, but music does play a big part in my writing process. It helps set the tone and pushes me to keep going. I've had whole stories inspired by a single song. I also have a knack for picking songs that will be big on TV show and movie soundtracks, so I think I'm pretty good at choosing music for atmosphere. And that I spent way way way too much time in front of the TV as a kid.
