I'm kind of kicking myself because I have sooo many other projects not done yet. Well, maybe not that many, but enough that I probably shouldn't be starting a new one. But my goal is for this to be a submission for Precipice, Write on Edge's Literary Anthology. The good part about that is the guidelines set a limit of 3000 words, which means I can't let this turn into a gargantuan piece like my one story that is currently about 80000 words and only 3/4 done...
What's making me even more excited is that I have the first version of my playlist composed. It will probably go through a few modifications as I work on this story, but the base is there. Here's what it looks like so far:
Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith
She's Not Innocent - Antigone Rising
I Will Be There - Art of Dying
Love Like This - Blackhawk
(Everything I Do) I Do It For You - Bryan Adams
Bad Moon Rising - Credence Clearwater Revival
Rescue Me - Daughtry
Ten Thousand Fists - Disturbed
Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad - Def Leppard
Love Will Keep Us Alive - The Eagles
See the Sky Again - Edwin McCain
It's Your Love - Faith Hill and Tim McGraw
Bad Company - Five Finger Death Punch
Serenity - Godsmack
Wander This World - Jonny Lang
I Run To You - Lady Antebellum
Amazed - Lonestar
Of Wolf and Man - Metallica
Never Gonna Be Alone - Nickelback
Where You Are - Rascal Flatts
I'll Follow You - Shinedown
It's Been Awhile - Stained
Burn - The Cure
The Right Kind Of Wrong - LeAnne Rimes
Your Arms Feel Like Home - 3 Doors Down
I know, a rather mixed bag. But each of these songs has something that speaks to me about either the characters, the tone of the piece, the situations they're in or something. I'll leave you guessing as to just what story is about. But, if you're interested in being a beta reader, let me know - dontpanic2011@gmail.com. I'll hit you up once it is done and ready for that level of public consumption.
