Oh my…
Sitting here writing, listening to my main character’s soundtrack. Listened to “Good Woman” by Cat Power three times in a row. If you have access to the song, do listen to it. Really. If you don’t already know it, it’s on her latest album, You Are Free, which is SO worth checking out. Ay yay yay… The soundtrack I put together is totally providing a key to my character. Music (listening to it) has always been a huge part of my life–I do everything to music–but the way it’s becoming part of the writing process is almost spooky. It’s not pushing or pulling me in directions I wasn’t already headed, but it’s underlining certain things–bringing those small clues up to the surface–in the most uncanny ways.
That is a great song, and album. I’m intrigued: what else is on your character’s soundtrack? She (he?) has good taste.

Yeah, I got access–YOU! Isn’t it weird that I can really admire an artist and yet own none of her albums?
Isn’t it cool that we still call them “albums”? I love that.

No, no, no! *kicks feet* I don’t know that song! I feel so out of the loop…. Shopping may be in order soon. If you like it, I’ll like it. All my girls got good taste, yup.
