Music and characters

I'm going to type up my SPN review and post it sometime soon. I've heard LJ is having issues so I want to type it in WordPad, saving as I go along, then post it all at once. That way, I won't lose anything ( Read more... )

writing, she just wanted to be heard

You can unfriend it. I haven't had it in 4 years :x I just can't remember the passwords to delete it

LOL, I have that same problem with a Yahoo Group I manage - it hasn't been active in over 5 years, but I can't remember the Yahoo username or password to go in and delete it. I'm gonna keep trying though.

Long live Duckytruck! We knew ye well.

There is absolutely no shame in dropping out, you know. I say that as someone whose medical problems have precluded a lot of participation in things like that this year. And you know I have this problem with deadlines...

I do find that music defines relationships and/or characters while I write. Your Sorrow for Another Coin is definitely informed by the music of Jeffrey Foucault - every single piece I write in the 'verse has a song title based on his lyrics. Every time I hear his music, flipping into Alice's voice is the easiest thing in the world. I have a specific song list for the 'verse, too, that I always listen to when I'm writing a piece in the 'verse, which includes everything Jeffrey Foucault has ever written plus some bluegrass stuff. I also snuck R.E.M., Dar Williams and Michael Penn to the list because they seem to work. Dar reminds me a lot of the wisdom that Jane would portray...

I could do this for all of my 'verses, so, in short: yes.

BTW, this seems like a cool discussion for me at getthewordsout. Just saying... ;-P

I may actually stay in one of the Big Bangs; one of the mods said she was looking forward to my story and it made me want to try harder to stay, lol. We'll see what I can do before Monday ( ... )

I don't write much fanfic these days, but when I did write a bit of it, I always played music while I was writing. Not sure if I'd think of any of it as "theme songs" for particular characters. I didn't know Paul's Mom's name was Theresa, that's my full name! Hee hee.

Is it spelled the same way? With the H?
