Oct. 12th, 2010 08:24 pmDay 9: A song from your favourite band.
Trouble with this one is, I don't have a favorite band. Really. The artists that show up most frequently on my Top Rated playlist are individuals, not bands. On my Top 25 Most Played playlist, the only band with more than one entry is Maná. So I guess I'll go with them (and I do have a Pandora station for them that I've been listening to a lot of lately).
Maná - Ojalá Pudiera Borrarte
Ojalá y te me esfumaras de mis sueños, vida mía
Para no volverte a ver
No, ni en sueños
In other news, I'm once again torn regarding my upcoming NaNo. The story I'd "settled" on hasn't been excited me as much as I'd hoped, and I'm still all excited about last year's story. I'm wondering if the second installment of Things Falling From the Front actually has more potential. I can throw in crazy inbred recluses, if necessary, and even an Immortal (must come up with better name, though). Sure, Book One still needs hella revisions, but those revisions don't need to happen before Book Two gets going. Basically, Book One needs to be broken down and built back up again, boot camp style. Something to do this spring, I guess. If I take on Book Two (which includes the former Book Three), it may not so much matter than I don't have characters the way I want. It's NaNo. I can figure out the reality of how everyone got there, then twist it into the realty/mythology of the people living there now. Documents will have been destroyed, oral histories have been twisted over the generations. I already have a firm grasp on the 5 visiting travelers. Since it's NaNo, it won't, by definition, be in it's perfect form, so I can experiment as I did with the first Book. All 5 voices can be heard, and then some. I can tell stories from perspectives of dead people.
All right, I think I've talked myself into another novel flip-flop.
