If My WIP Were a Song…
Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway’s contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered.
This week’s question is: If your WIP or favorite book were music, what song(s) would it be?
I L.O.V.E this question! And there was no doubt what my choice would be. Christina Perri’s Jar of Hearts! Here’s the video:
This week’s question is: If your WIP or favorite book were music, what song(s) would it be?
I L.O.V.E this question! And there was no doubt what my choice would be. Christina Perri’s Jar of Hearts! Here’s the video:
Can you taste the betrayal? Because it’s there, all potent and bitter.
The images in the video are so perfect for my WIP. The kiss that steals a part of each girl, leaving them changed and weakened…yep, totally happens in my manuscript.
There is also one stanza that screams a major plot point: “I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed/ Cause you broke all your promises/And now you’re back/You don’t get to get me back.”
Just listening to it makes me excited to get back to writing!

OMG, I had this song on repeat about a week and a half ago!! I listened it until it just got embarrassing, and I’d have to put in my earphones in order to keep listening to it without my husband wondering if I’d gone off the deep end! It’s SO good! And the video’s just perfect!

@Kathryn: And I MIGHT be a So You Think You Can Dance addict, and love the dancers in the video. The video is sort of violent and tense…LOVE IT!! Hopefully it will make a good book, LOL.

This is lovely. I’m so downloading it on iTunes tonight!

What a fun question! And I LOVE this song. I’m going to have to come up with a song for my WIP now!

I love her dress!
On a literary note, wow! Your manuscript is going to be awesomely powerful. Nice!

I take it that stanza gives away Chapter Twelves’ big plot point?
KO: The Insect Collector
I don’t know this one– thanks for sharing it!

@William: More like chapter three. LOL.

Thanks–I’d never heard it before, either.
I have at least one song for each of my books. Think I’ll go post them….
