So I have a TON of research to do for my third novel,
MUTED, but my fingers are itching to get tapping.
Real Bad. (insert Aussie accent big time.)
Solution? Start another book? Be patient and just do all the reading I need to do? Write some random chapters I know I can accomplish with the knowledge I already possess even though I hate writing stuff out of order?
(major psychological dilemma here) Write poetry even though it doesn't seem to be as fulfilling these days?
(I go through phases) Write a few short stories?
(no, because they'll end up sparking ideas for novels and I can't handle the brain fuzz) What's a girl to do?
Think I might have to go the 'writing two books at once' route. Start one that doesn't require research, a good old wholesome character-driven drama I can turn to when
MUTED gets too complicated for my overworked brain. Mind you, this could also be unsuccessful. What if I get so into writing the new book that I abandon
MUTED until I've finished writing the other one? Not good. Decisions decisions ...
What would you do?
~Muso of the week~
Style: Instrumental Trip Hop (yeah, bet that one surprised you! :o)
My Favorite Albums: What you see above!
Why I love them: An ex-boyfriend of mine introduced me to these guys when I was still in Australia. They embody the perfect groove with the perfect 'chill-out' level AND tunes that have you humming them without realizing. Gotta love a good riff that hooks you like that - even if electronic!
You can have a listen to one of my favorite tracks,
Les Nuits,
