I woke up with the determination to finish the chapter I’m working on. It’s taking TOO long. I started with water and a brunch board so I could eat while I read what I have so far.
Cheese crisps, hummus, celery and carrot sticks, Genoa salami, and mild cheddar cheese. With water.
Little emblems nearby to inspire me. These would make sense if you could read the chapter.
A pause here to discuss music. I began this chapter last month, and the next artist was Stevie Nicks. Up front, let me say that I still enjoy Stevie Nicks’s music, but this became a bit of overkill.
Stevie Nicks: 3 CD “Enchanted” box set; “The Other Side of the Mirror”; “Street Angel”; “In Your Dreams”; “Trouble in Shangri La”; “Time Space: The Best of Stevie Nicks.” These don’t include the Stevie I have on vinyl.
I realized Stevie was actually dragging my keyboard around, so there were times I didn’t listen to music at all while I wrote in May. I finally completed the Stevie playlist with relief. I did light her candle with my day’s intentions so she’d still feel like a part of things. The Notorious RBG wasn’t judging me, so neither should you, when I moved on.
Nirvana: “Unplugged In New York”; One Republic, “Human”; Oasis: “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?” I have so much One Republic I could have listened to if I’d wanted to blue tooth my iTunes, but it was bedtime, I was tired, and no, I didn’t finish the chapter.
But I made good progress, so that’s a win, and I didn’t even stop to color so I could plot, though I did have these recent acquisitions at the ready. Coloring will definitely happen on pages from these, because they show a number of style and fashion icons and brands, including MY FAVORITE BEATLE. My favorite Beatle is not my musician character’s favorite Beatle, but I understand why and am okay with that. HIS favorite Beatle’s Wings song is included in this chapter. It’s closer to the end than I am.
Note to Lynne: I watch this video with a huge lump in my throat so please remember and watch it when you’re reading the road chapters in Book 6 (so close to being finished!).
