It’s A Symphony, Baby

[amymyoung]

I’m writing, ever so slowly, as I’m revising while I’m writing. But, as I write I like to have music playing. It helps me to motivate the scene and to keep things flowing.

Right now I’m listening to a mix of tunes, a lot of Jorn, Brother Firetribe and Leverage, and the following, which will likely never see the light as part of a story, has come to me.

As darkness fades away, the first rays of light crossing the floor, and sleep’s been out of question on this bumping, rumbling bus. It’s been over a month since I saw anyone I loved, but that’s what I’ve given up to be a warrior of show business. The days and city signs flash by me – the life of a rock star is slowly killing me by inches, and I can’t stop the cycle now that it’s started.

It’s another addiction, the cheering of the crowds. It’s like heroin – you can’t live without it, withdrawal is painful beyond words. Fame just happens to be the side effect of it – almost like a delusion that comes and goes depending on the way the wind blows.

Music is my motivation for writing. I’ve come up with countless “soundtracks” to what I write, maybe some day I will share them when I am done my novel’s revisions.
