25. Many The Miles

On your marks, get set...


I love Sara Bareille; she makes beautiful music like 'Breathe Again' and inspiring music like Many The Miles which I chose for the title of my post today. I joined Nano in 2009 and wrote and completed a novel called 'WIPS' about, you guessed it, a writer who never finished anything. But, because of stresses I sat out last year, this year I'm jumping back on the bandwagon with a new title 'Freak Shows' which is a young adult, slightly dark themed adventure.

Although I won't have time to post about my progress on nano, you can check my profile on there. It has a word count scoreboard. I don't think there is anyone who doesn't know about Nano by now, unless you're not a writer and have no writers in your family, but in short you have to write a novel of 50,000 words in 30 days.


I think it looks a little arrogant of me not to post a synopsis, it looks as though I don't want my idea stolen, because as original as you think your idea is, it really isn't, everything has been done before. My problem is writing a synopsis that engages you without giving away the best part so until then; I'm leaving it blank, because no summary is better than a bad one.

Check out Sara's music, she's great.

24. Hope For Now

City and Colour.

I can't remember when I actually discovered City and Colour, I know it was sometime last year but his music touches me so deeply. The lyrics, it's like he's talking to me and understands exactly how I feel. It probably sounds silly but I feel as though we're going through this hard time together.

Hope For Now is one of my favourite songs, along with 'Grand Optimist' and well his whole album is beautiful, but those stick out the most.
