When I first started writing snippets of scenes for what would become WIP2, Snow Patrol's An Olive Grove Facing The Sea infested my waking moments for a full week. It's full of longing and nostalgia and a quiet resignation that spurred the initial inspiration for WIP2. <br />Then, Linkin Park's Wretches and Kings introductory lyrics captures a major overarching theme: <br />"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop."<br /><br />Happy writing to you!Liza Kanehttp://lizakane.menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229593956344206286.post-11992224648866390352012-03-15T16:25:04.495-04:002012-03-15T16:25:04.495-04:00Thank you!

Man, that's my whole weekly goal that you did in two days, lol. Good luck with the revisions!<br /><br />Isn't moving SO annoying? This is going to be the 6th time my husband and I have moved in our 3 years of marriage.

I can't wait to see what song you post tomorrow! So funny :)<br /><br />Ugh...I hear you on shows taking time away from writing.
