because there are always some tunes...

most of you know that when I'm writing I have to have some kind of background noise.

I'm of the first generation of MTV viewers. Tunes are important, it helps invoke emotion, tone, cadence and dreams.

I have to admit, the new book has not been so easy to conjure. I keep running into boundaries with it. perhaps this comes from my hard expectations of self... I don't want to fail, I don't want to be a disappointment. I wonder at times if I'm good enough, smart enough or crafted enough to say what it is I want to say. I question if any of it is actually relevant.

but even through all the questioning and hitting brick walls of thought, emotions and words I know what the story feels like deep in my gut, and it is usually with a tune that I sense it more strongly...

these two just feel right... not the songs, per se...but the feeling of them.




yeah, I think I'm heading somewhere a bit more stark and grown-up than Pop. (lol)
