Shoot. I feel like I'm completely slacking now and totally falling behind my self-imposed schedule/deadline. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to wave goodbye to that awful, cold, snowy, miserable month known as February. But each passing day is making me more and more antsy to start the submission process. And I just haven't had a whole lot of time to make the line by line revisions, let alone the few content revisions I need to get to. I've been trying to set aside time on Sundays, cuz the weeks lately are just shot. And I still need to finish building my agent list. 20 agents is nowhere near enough. SIGH.
My fingers are itching to write. As I think of little phrases and things I want to change I've been typing them down on the notepad in my iPhone. I've also been writing down song lyrics that strike me as appropriate for possible chapter intros. I have no idea how that would work- like with the copyright issues and all that- but I figure I might as well make note of them regardless. I actually have a hard time listening to music when I write, even though I'm completely inspired by it. Is that odd? I find I get distracted by the music though; that I get too wrapped up in the song and can't concentrate on what I'm trying to write. Anyway. I'm babbling. So I'll leave you with these very appropriate song lyrics for In My Mind's Eye:
Sometimes I just can't explain all the ways you devastate me
You're always on my mind
And I try but I'm not convincing
Your lips they pout & twist
I'd die trying just to keep myself from kissing you
-Straylight Run
And it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time, didn't I my dear?
-Mumford & Sons
I'm still breaking old habits
When you pulled the wool over me
And I can see everything, everything
Remembering, jinx removing
Don't worry, I'll catch you
Don't ever worry
You're still all that matters to me
-The Get Up Kids (this was also the song I walked down the aisle to, btw :))
Love the Mumford & Sons reference :)
