Music Monday: Absolutely Bonkers

I think I've mentioned before that I'm working on a project with my adopted older brother, Tony. While I read vampire fiction (Black Dagger Brotherhood, anyone?), I've always wanted to write it and even have several manuscripts languishing in the deep freeze of my laptop. So I did what I always do when I'm starting a new project and come up with a playlist that speaks to the worldbuilding or the characters or just keeps me interested while I'm writing.
This version is from the opening ceremonies from the London Olympics and reminds me of our male main character. He is absolutely bonkers in the best way, and I can't wait to share this story with all of you! 



BonkersDizzie Rascal and Armand Van Helden
I wake up everyday, it's a daydreamEverything in my life ain't what it seemsI wake up just to go back to sleepI act real shallow but I'm in too deepAnd all I care about is sex and violenceA heavy bass line is my kind of silenceEverybody says that I gotta get a gripBut I let sanity give me the slip

Some people think I'm bonkersBut I just think I'm freeMan, I'm just living my lifeThere's nothing crazy about meSome people pay for thrillsBut I get mine for freeMan, I'm just living my lifeThere's nothing crazy about me

Music Monday: The Untold...Her

This song...y'all. If you're a Lindsey Sterling fan, then you probably already know this song. It's typically soaring and beautiful and just makes you catch your breath to listen. If you're a Team USA Olympic gymnastics fan, then you know this song from Suni Lee's similarly breathtaking routine that eventually won her a bronze medal..I think. That seems to change daily.

I listened to it with several of my characters in mind, and one stepped forward and strapped on her ice skates while her long-lost love watched from a window - he hasn't revealed himself to be back in her life yet. As goes with a lot of things that have Lindsey Sterling involved, this is going on my writing playlist. Enjoy. (No lyrics.)
