A little insight into my mind...

6/10/2013

 
When I start a new novel I like to have several things in place:
  • the title
  • the first line
  • the last line
From those thing, I know whether I'm writing in first person or third, past tense or present.

But something wasn't right with this project. I'm rewriting an old manuscript, so I assumed I had all those things, but they weren't gelling together. Until this morning, when I was at the gym and this song came on my MP3 (yes, I'm one of those strange people who don't own an iPhone or even an iPod) and suddenly I was stopping the treadmill mid-run to scribble down a few lines.

This is the song... and one day, I'll be able to share the novel with you too.

It's wonderful isn't it? I love it when my muse is a song :-)

Dark contemporary fiction with a hint of paranormal
​"Besides Annalisa's clever writing style, I enjoy the unpredictable plots and the characters that are so very normal, yet tragically broken in some way or another."
