So, I've loved Pink since I discovered her a few years back -- yes, the infamous "Stupid Girls" video -- and I think if I was a rock star, I'd make my music videos as awesomely hilarious and poignant as Pink (sans the forced breast milking, 'cause I don't care what anyone says, that was creepy). I'd like to think as much, anyway. I definitely was one of those "freaks" when I was younger...and probably still am (and enjoy it!). ;)
This is for Varnish Vixen, because I was talking about this song and she'd never heard of it. Enjoy! :)

I live!
Yes, I know, it's been a while again. In my defense, I've been extremely busy (especially these last few weeks. Soooo buuuuusy :emotion: ), so much so that I had to work last Saturday and it's looking like I may have to put in a few hours this Saturday, too. Tragic really, especially when you consider how much I'm being paid for this shite.
Anyway, I've been slowly getting back on the bicycle of regular writing -- when I get home at a semi-decent hour. I make myself some dinner, then watch some Wire in the Blood (a really intense English mystery/drama/horror; definitely not for the faint of heart!) and pound out a few pages of prose. I've been mostly "doodling" -- or writing stuff that doesn't have much to do with any of my projects. I consider it like warming up before a work-out. Anyway, I've begun redoing my outline for Tayce Book 2, The Eternal Forest (my current, working title :P )
Book 2 is when some poop finally hits the fan, including some major character conflict between Tayce and Cotter, my two protagonists. The Tayce Series is the first set of stories I've made that really had a good over-arching plot line fully realized from the get-go. In other words, I knew pretty early on what I wanted to do with the story and the characters. Some stuff has changed, but overall, I've kept with my original vision. That never happens to me and that's why I believe that I may have something good on my hands...something worth publishing. :)
So I was thinking about the growth and the arc that Tayce and Cotter go through in the series, and I've been hearing "Grenade" by Bruno Mars nonstop on the radio -- which means eventually I'll probably hate this song, but right now I really like it. I don't know why; it's not my usual kind of music and his voice is okay. The music video is interesting. But, I think it's the lyrics that do it for me. I just can't help but think about Cotter (circa Book 3-4) when I hear this song. It exemplifies the struggle Cotter goes through later on in the series.
Have a listen and tell me what you think about it!
