Music for Lights of Life

It's really weird the little Internet paths I take.

I'd been working on the outline for Lights of Life all morning yesterday and needed a break while I had something to eat. So I put on RuPaul's Drag Race and at the end they played a snippet of one of RuPaul's songs (The Beginning) that I wanted to hear more of, so I looked it up on YouTube and played it a couple times (I like it, but I'm not sure I want to own it).

Then I decided it's been a while since I played anything from my favorites playlist, so I looked at it and played Lean On by Major Lazer & DJ Snake (feat. MØ) and I had the same thought I've had in the past, which is that the singer in the video looks like a cross between Melanie C and Adrienne Wilkinson (Livia/Eve from Xena).

Well, I haven't checked out anything from Melanie C in years, so I looked her up and found her YouTube channel and a song I hadn't heard before (Think About It) automatically played on the main page.

As soon as I heard the lyrics, I realized it made the perfect theme song for Jess and Kaylee's first time, sung from Jess's POV. It fits exactly how I want to portray Jess's emotions at that moment when she decides to stop fighting her heart and throw caution to the wind and just go for it.

All the editing and brainstorming I've been doing for the changes I want to make to Lights have put me in a more analytical mode, which has left me worried about whether I'm losing the romance. I think the changes I'm making are good changes and will improve the story, but being focused on the structure of when events take place has sort of taken me away from feeling the emotions of the scenes themselves.

This song has totally brought me back to how I've always felt about Jess and Kaylee as a couple. So I think I just need to relax and trust that when I'm actually writing the scenes (rather than organizing them), I'll remember who they are as a couple and that will come through in my writing.

And definitely make sure to actually watch the video. She's fuckin' hot. :) And she totally reminds me of a cross between Eliza Dushku from Dollhouse (with all the costume changes) and Bo from Lost Girl (it's the dark eye make-up).

Anyway, I hope you enjoy.

I know I'll be playing this song a lot. :)

Hey,

Sorry for the fake out, but I don't collect email addresses for marketing purposes.

I was just told I needed an email signup form on my pages, so I created this one as part of the original design, then changed my mind, but decided to leave this here as an Uno reverse card. :)

Anyway, my stories are my sales pitch and if the free chapters (and entire books) aren't enough to convince you to pay for access to more of the same, then I don't see how my bugging you with emails is going to change your mind.

Plus, I have social phobia and trying to come up with marketing emails is my definition of an anxiety-inducing nightmare.

Not to mention that's not what I want to be doing with my precious writing time or wasting your precious reading time.

So, if you want to get an email from me, you'll either have to purchase a Story or Site Membership, or email me directly and talk to me about my stories.

Or ask me a question and I'll do my best to answer.

But seriously, email me about my stories.

Tell me what you liked, what you wish I'd done differently, your favorite scenes.

Especially if there's one story in particular you'd like me to update. I know some of them have been sorely neglected and it motivates me to work on them when my anxiety and chronic pain are making that more difficult than usual.

Hope to hear from you soon. :)

Take care,

Kodi
